CHEBUCTO CONNECTION BOARD NOTES

Annual General Meeting

On March 19, 1995, Chebucto Community Net held its annual general meeting at the Halifax Campus of the Nova Scotia Community College on Bell Road.

One of the tasks accomplished at the AGM was to change the name of the society that runs CCN from the Metro Community Access Society to the Chebucto Community Net Society. This will help to eliminate some of the confusion caused by the differences in name s between the two organizations.

Among the developments mentioned at the AGM was that Chebucto Community Net will be hosting the 1997 conference of Telecommunities Canada, the umbrella group for Community Networks in Canada.

Approximately 50 members attended the AGM. A number of new board members were appointed. Ben Armstrong, Robert Currie and Sharon MacDonald are all new appointments to the Chebucto Community Net Society's Board of Directors.

More details on the accomplishments and challenges of1995 are contained in the committee reports. Here are some highlights from the Chair's report:

Growth over the past year was dramatic by any measure:

number of information providing organizations grew 600% to 150
number of phone lines tripled from 24 to 72
number of World Wide Web accesses grew by 200% to 2.5 million per month
number of members grew from 1,370 to 3,073
number of active users grew from 2,065 to 4,681

The complete committee reports and by-laws are available on-line.
