Item # 1:	Review of March 5 Meeting Minutes
Presenter	Andrew
Discussion	March 5, 2013 minutes were approved. {tq, sb}

Item # 2:	Discussion: Possible Obstacles to Replacing Mail Communication
Presenter	Committee
Discussion	The ACCeStaffing Committee recommended delaying any recommendation to suspend postal mail communication at this time.

Item # 3:	Review of Fall 2013 eStaffing Cycles
Presenter	Committee
Discussion	One problem was reported in the Math department regarding the ''Max Credit Allowed'' on the ''Faculty Assignments'' page. A screenshot was provided documenting what appears to be incorrect information. One other obscure problem was reported, but it was thought to be a departmental set-up issue.

Item # 4:	Discussion: Replacing MSTA Exception with MSTA Senior
Presenter	Anaka
Discussion	Anaka was not in attendance for the meeting; this topic is to be postponed until next time unless the committee or IT receives official word that the policy/admin rule has changed. Sue introduced a potential new rule/request: an ECS (Early College Start) eligibility list. This would involve eStaffing being able to identify and flag ''ECS'' courses, the functionality within eStaffing to assign ECS eligibility to specific adjunct faculty, and the functionality to match ECS eligibilty with ECS course sections. This request caught the AFA by surprise. Given the paucity of specifics and the absence of any projection as to the likelihood of becoming an official request, IT cannot make any realistic assessment of how much time would be required to develop the enhancement.

Item # 5:	Status of Executive Module Rewrite/Redesign
Presenter	Kathy
Discussion	IT is currently working on a redesign of the eStaffing ''executive'' modules. (In addition to a redesign, it also involves a programming conversion from ASP to PHP.) The IT development team would like to meet with an eStaffing subcommittee to review specifications and progress early this summer. The committee mentioned early June as a good time to meet. Volunteers for the subcommittee were identified as: Gillian, Tobin, Charles, Joe, Sue, Hazel, and Gaye Lynn.

Item # 6:	eStaffing Compliance Report
Presenter	Andrew
Discussion	The Fall 2013 Compliance Report was attached with the meeting documents for the Committee to review. The Committee requested that the Compliance Reports be added to eStaffing as a viewable report.

Item # 7:	2013 - 2014 Academic Year Meetings for the ACCeStaffing Committee
Presenter	Andrew
Discussion	The dates and location of the 2013-2014 AY ACCeStaffing Committee have yet to be established.
