I am about to post my nomination for re-election to the AUUG committee.

The following is my statement of policy/aims that will accompany my
nomination. I feel very strongly about the need to organise a strong
chapter structure throughout the country to bring AUUG back to the members.

If you agree that AUUG should promote local chapter activities (meetings, Summer
Conferences etc.) then please vote for me when the time comes...


 As a foundation member of AUUG Inc and the founding Chairman of the Western 
 Australian Unix Group (WAUG) I have been actively involved with Unix User 
 Groups for a number of years. Over the last four years I have coordinated 
 organisation of the AUUG Summer Conferences around the country.

 There have been many discussions recently concerning the benefits of being 
 an AUUG member. One way that AUUG can provide real benefit to its members is
 to promote and encourage local chapter activities where members can meet and
 discuss Unix and Open Systems technologies, problems and solutions with 
 other members in their own city or town.

 The WAUG has been a very active and successful local Unix User Group and is 
 one of the four state chapters operating today. I was elected to the AUUG 
 committee in 1991 to use my experiences from WAUG to help develop and 
 strengthen existing state chapters and encourage other states to form 
 chapters.

 I am currently working with a subcommittee to formulate a model for the 
 organisation of chapters and their relationship to AUUG. If re-elected to 
 the AUUG committee I will continue this work with the aim of encouraging 
 local chapter activities, similar in nature to WAUG, in regional centers 
 throughout Australia.
