Minutes of Steering Committee Meeting of June 27, 2005: Motion to approve made 
by M. Ostrowski, seconded by N. Gardner. All members voted to approve. 
Survey Overview: 
Andy Smith of the UNH Survey Center distributed a draft of the survey 
questionnaire and asked that SC members review and give him feedback about 
what to cut out, what questions should be added. The intent is to start to survey 
(750 randomly selected NH citizens to be contacted by phone for a 10 minute, 40 
question survey) by late July. SC can expect an overview of results at its August 9 
meeting, and Andy will have a power point presentation of the full results for the 
Commission at its September meeting (to be scheduled.) 
Website: 
Matt and Rich from National Web Group distributed a map of the website. Website 
should be up and running within two to three weeks. SC members discussed access 
to information posted on the website. Commissioners will have access to all public 
input. SC members will develop a recommendation for the full Commission 
regarding the frequency with which the Commission can provide information back 
to the public in terms of the input the Commission receives. 
Other Agenda Items Not Covered: 
Because of extensive discussion of the survey and the website, several agenda items 
will be deferred until the next meeting. These include: locations of listening 
sessions, detailed review of role of commission members, possible topics for research 
groups. 
There being no further business, the meeting concluded at 5pm. 
Respectfully submitted, 
Ann McArdle 
Project Manager
