Anderson called the meeting to order at noon. Anderson had sent a memo, with attachments, to the committee August 22, which provided additional background on an appeal of a sanction imposed as part of a disciplinary action. Discussion ensued, in closed session.

Motion by Purkey, Lowe second, that the committee upholds the sanctions, imposed on the athlete by the President, amended to read: You are suspended from participation in any curling competition leading up to state, national or world competition for one year commencing March 23, 2000, with the exception that you will be permitted to compete in state/regional competition that leads only to the National Olympic Qualifier. You are declared ineligible for participation in USCA/USOC sponsored/funded programs, including, but not limited to, camps. Approved, with one abstention.

Meeting adjourned at 12:17pm.

Respectfully submitted,

David Garber
Recording Secretary
