Saturday, October 21:
The Circle's year 2000 President, Constance Cartmill, conducted the Annual Business Meeting.
It was agreed that a web-site for the LCMND be established, and that it,
like the affiliation of all Secretary-Treasurers, be administered in Winnipeg at the UM. Plans for an LCMND e-journal were also advanced & approved.

The University of Manitoba subsequently launched the LCMND website in late 2001 (ca. one year later),
The UM Faculty of Arts established a link from its Research listings.
The two urls are:

The LCMND e-Journal was designed by Dr. Barry Pomeroy in 2003,
