     money.

     - group decided to participate in Media Democracy Day ("MDD" -- see
     www.mediademocracyday.org). group consented to hold workshops (ala 
A18)
     on MDD. a new listerv (imc-pgh-mdd) will be created to float other
     ideas. one concrete proposal for MDD is to create lpfm station that
     will be turned on on MDD; the decision to do so was deferred pending
     more investigation into the costs of setting it up.
     - the need to get more people involved w/IMC was also discussed. it 
is
     hoped that the imc august extravaganza will increase imc visibility,
     hence participation. the need for more extensive outreach, 
particularly
     once the fall semester starts, was also pointed out.
