Brother Chui & others:
I know that several items will be considered not only the use of laptops and other computer devices in reference committee, but also the use of laptops and other devices by delegates on the legislative floor. Under the last few conventions standing rules two way devices (e.g. Pagers, Cell Phones, Network Connected Computers) where not allowed. With the increases in technology I know that the board and other groups are examine all aspects.

Subject: Legislation Compatibility with Laptops
Dear Brothers:
I have a question. Is the task force also considering more effective means of
connecting documents from independent laptops to Printing and Publications
for reference committee reports sent to Rules & Credentials for approval.
I was an alumni advisor for Awards & Appreciation committee at the most
recent convention at New Orleans. Our committee's report was delayed 4 hours (past
the 12 Midnight deadline), because the report document we typed on a laptop
was incompatible with formatting errors, when sent to Printing & Publications.
Thus, are there any possible resolutions that the word processing
applications at Printing & Publications for Denver 2004 will be compatible to independent
laptops, whether or not, the current technology is from Microsoft (Word or
Works), Apple, or WordPerfect.

Brother Chu and others:
The Legislation Team is currently looking at the submission process and =
format of the legislation itself. We will be looking at Reference =
Committee Reports, but we aren't at that stage yet.
