    Hi everyone-

    I made a few clarifications to the TF's proposal to Clarify instructions for surnames with an initialized part (attached). Although this has been approved by CC:DA, I thought I should share the improved version with you all.

    And of course I got this exactly backwards. This is the document that needs a CC:DA vote. Sigh.

    Hi all. Could I get the members of the committee to review this document and call for a motion to approve this proposal with a second?

    Thank you Amanda. Before we vote could I get a motion to approve the document and then a second to the motion?

    Fantastic! The motion passes. I will have a number of these to post very soon. I have been working on the official proposals from CC:DA that will be submitted to our ALA NARDAC reps. I just need to proof read them and then I will post them. Thank you all!
