The World Science Fiction Society (WSFS) Business Meeting at Intersection, the 1995 Worldcon, consisted of one preliminary meeting and two main meetings. All the meetings were held in the Shona and Staffa rooms of the Moat House Hotel, Glasgow, Scotland. The podium staff for all meetings were: Kevin Standlee, Presiding Officer; Tim Illingworth, Deputy Presiding Officer; George Flynn, Secretary; and Gary Feldbaum, Timekeeper.
The meeting was called to order at 10:30 A.M. Mr. Feldbaum not being present, Rick Katze was appointed as Timekeeper pro tem, until Mr. Feldbaum's arrival at 10:32.
Mr. Sacks asked whether there would be a "Grill the Bidders" session. [No such event having been included in the Program, it had been informally agreed to schedule one at the Friday Business Meeting.] The Chair replied that since an announcement hadn't made it into the newsletter, it would be rescheduled for the end of the Saturday session.
Mr. Russell raised a question of privilege: The Registration staff had been told that people paying with "squidgy currencies" were not to receive Souvenir Books [which contained the WSFS documents]. Mr. Russell asked consideration of how this could be ameliorated. The Chair noted that additional copies could be printed.
Several requests were made that the minutes be made available by e-mail.
(Items 1-5 were given first passage at ConAdian, and would become part of the WSFS Constitution if ratified. The explanations in [brackets] are those published in the Intersection Souvenir Book, etc. Here and elsewhere, the numbers assigned to motions are those used in the printed agenda.)
The default debate time was 20 minutes; 4 minutes was also proposed; 4 minutes was voted. [In all decisions on debate time, voting began with the longest time and proceeded downward until a majority was obtained.]
Reading of the full text was waived. In response to an inquiry, the Chair ruled that passage of the motion would make no substantive change. -- Default debate time 20 minutes; 3 and 1 minutes proposed; 1 minute voted.
Default debate time 6 minutes. -- Mr. Yalow moved to substitute for the new text "provided that the length of the story is within the lesser of five thousand (5,000) words or twenty percent (20%) of the new category limits."
The Chair ruled that this would constitute a lesser change [so that its passage would not prevent ratification this year]. There was 6 minutes' [should have been 5?] debate time on Mr. Yalow's amendment, which passed many-1. -- Default debate time on the motion as amended was now 20 minutes; but without objection, the time was left at the original 6 minutes.
The following amendment by substitution was submitted:
[4'.] Count Ineligibles . . . But Let's Not Get Carried Away
MOVED, to add the following to the end of Section 3.7 of the WSFS Constitution:
All ballots will be initially tallied by their first preference, even if cast for a bid that the Administering Committee has found ineligible. Should an eligible bid fail to achieve a majority on the first round, on the second round all ballots for ineligible bids shall be redistributed to their first eligible choice, and tallying shall proceed according to preferential balloting procedures.
(submitted by Covert Beach and Judy Kindell)
Mr. Standlee noted that he was the author of the original motion, and asked whether there was any objection to his presiding at this time; there was none. -- There was 5 minutes' debate on the amendment. Mr. Russell noted that the "Section 3.7" should read "3.4"; this was fixed without objection. In response to an inquiry, the Chair ruled that the amendment by substitution would constitute a lesser change. The amendment by substitution then passed unanimously. -- Default debate time on the motion as amended was 20 minutes; there was no objection to setting the time as 6 minutes.
Default debate time 6 minutes; 20 and 9 minutes also proposed; 9 minutes voted.
Mr. Chairman, the WSFS Mark Protection Committee met twice since the last business meeting at ConAdian. At a meeting on Sunday, Sept. 4th, 1994, Kent Bloom was elected chairman, Sue Francis was elected secretary, and Scott Dennis was re-elected as treasurer. Discussions centered around how to raise money to fund the final registration of our marks in Great Britain.
During the year, final payments were made to our solicitors, and U.K. registrations were funded.
At a meeting held on Thursday, August 24th, 1995, in Glasgow, several topics were discussed. Letters explaining the proper usage for our marks will be sent to Microsoft, Inc., [to] Mike Resnick (regarding the "Alternate Worldcons" books), and to DragonCon NASFiC.
Stephen Boucher was authorized to engage a solicitor to pursue registration of our marks in Australia.
*Term expires at the end of the Intersection Business Meeting
Of the three positions to be filled by election at Intersection, no more than two can be from the Western Zone, no more than one can be from the Central Zone, and no more than one can be from the Eastern Zone.

24 Aug 95
Mr. Olson requested that the committee report on the current status of the marks. Mr. Bloom responded that four of the marks were registered in both the U.K. and the U.S., "NASFiC" in the U.S. only; an application had been filed in Canada, which would probably take one or two years more (Ken Smookler in charge). -- The report was accepted as amended.
Nominations for Elected Members of Mark Protection Committee -- The deadline for acceptance of nominations was set as 18:00 Friday, with elections to be held Saturday. -- Nominations were called for, and received for the following: Tim Illingworth (outside North America), Bruce Pelz (Western region), Ben Yalow (Eastern), Kevin Standlee (Western). Mr. Pelz was not present at the convention, and was reported to be unwilling to serve; his nomination was then withdrawn. [The Secretary subsequently received written acceptances from the remaining nominees.] -- The Chair ruled that balloting would still be needed even with only three nominees for three seats, since write-ins were allowed. Mr. Olson moved to suspend the rules and elect the nominees by acclamation. Mr. Feldbaum pointed out that it would be a bad precedent to advance an election without giving notice; Mr. Olson then withdrew his motion. The Chair noted that this motion could be brought up at the Main Business Meeting; if there were objection then, the election would take place Sunday (to allow time to produce ballots).
(The sound system from the previous night's filksinging had been left in place in case it were needed at the Business Meeting. There being no need for it, Spencer Love departed at this time, with the thanks of the meeting.)
The SRWG is not yet ready to issue a final report, and proposes the following resolution:
Short Title: Continue Standing Rules Working Group
Resolved, that the Standing Rules Working Group established by the 1994 WSFS Business Meeting is continued for one year, and is instructed to report to the 1996 WSFS Business Meeting.
There being no objection, the resolution was passed and the working group was continued.
ConFrancisco (Mr. Daugherty) and ConAdian (Ms. Ross-Mansfield) announced that their reports were done, but had not yet been reproduced, and would be available on Saturday. Ms. Bemis said that MagiCon was still in reporting status, and might have a report Saturday. Intersection did not have a report ready. No one was present on behalf of L.A.con III or LoneStarCon 2.
(The explanations in [brackets] accompanying some motions are those submitted by the makers of the motions. In the motions themselves, capitalization and formatting have been regularized. The Secretary's suggested additions to the text are indicated in square brackets [thus], and suggested deletions in curly brackets {thus}. These alterations were not part of the texts considered by the Business Meeting.)
Mr. Tepper objected to consideration; the objection failed 3-many. -- Default debate time 6 minutes; 10 minutes also proposed; 6 minutes voted.
Default debate time 20 minutes; 5 and 2 minutes also proposed; 5 minutes voted.
Mr. Sacks moved to commit the motion to the Standing Rules Working Group. Mr. Olson objected that the SRWG is not a committee: either its status should be regularized or a separate committee set up. Mr. Breidbart moved to amend Mr. Sacks's motion by appointing a committee contiguous to the SRWG to which the motion would be committed. Mr. Sacks asked whether it would be in order to move to rename the SRWG as a committee: not without suspending the rules. Mr. Breidbart's amendment failed overwhelmingly. Mr. Olson moved (as a substitute for Mr. Sacks's motion) that the Chair appoint a small committee of "rules gurus" to consider the motion and report back to the Main Business Meeting: passed overwhelmingly. Mr. Sacks's motion as amended then passed overwhelmingly, and Item 13 was referred to committee. -- The Chair appointed Mr. Feldbaum, Mr. Illingworth, Mr. Sacks, Mr. Epstein, Mr. Yalow, Mr. Beach, and Mr. Katze to the committee. Mr. Olson requested that a chair be named "so that Mr. Sacks won't cause trouble"; this was objected to, and Mr. Olson (sort of) apologized. The Chair appointed Mr. Beach to chair the committee.
The Chair requested that the "Whereas" clauses be considered as explanation rather than part of the motion proper; Mr. Wolkoff agreed to this. -- Mr. Olson objected to consideration. More than two-thirds were opposed to consideration, so Item 14 was killed.
Default debate time 6 minutes; no other times were proposed.
Default debate time 20 minutes; 6 minutes was also proposed. -- Mr. Yalow asked whether the second season of Babylon 5 could run against the first two seasons as a dramatic unit. Before this could be answered, Mr. Olson moved that the motion be referred to a committee (distinct from the committee considering Item 13). Mr. Russell suggested that the committee consider a slate of alternatives. There being no objection, Item 16 was referred to committee. -- The Chair appointed Ms. Sbarsky (chair), Ms. Morman, Mr. Jaffe, Mr. Smookler, Mr. Feldbaum, and Mr. Flynn to the committee.
This being a resolution and not a constitutional amendment, it could be considered immediately. Default debate time 6 minutes. -- The resolution passed many-few.
[This completed the printed agenda.]
Ms. Morman moved to thank the Chair for not wearing a Nazi uniform. Mr. Olson moved to adjourn; when the Chair pointed out that Ms. Morman's motion would then be on the floor when the meeting reconvened, Mr. Olson withdrew his motion. Mr. Olson then moved to suspend the rules and postpone Ms. Morman's motion indefinitely: Passed by greater than two-thirds vote.
The meeting adjourned at 11:53 A.M.
The meeting was called to order at 10:31 A.M. -- Presentations by the 1998 bidders were made a special order of business for noon. (The Chair recognized the efforts of Mr. Sacks as a reporter: He had produced a Business Meeting report, including an announcement of the bid presentations, but the newsletter chose not to print it.)
[The Secretary has further modified the new text, inserting it in the Constitution in the following form:
All ballots shall be initially tallied by their first preferences, even if cast for a bid that the administering Committee has ruled ineligible. If no eligible bid receives a majority on the first round of tallying, then on the second round all ballots for ineligible bids shall be redistributed to their first eligible choices, and tallying shall proceed according to normal preferential-ballot procedures.]
Submitted by Ross Pavlac
August, 1995
Work accomplished since ConAdian:
The 1995 edition of the Worldcon Runners' Guide now runs more than 150 pages (a 32 page increase over the size of the 1994 edition).
Contributors to this year's edition include Chaz Baden, Jeremy Bloom, Curt Clemmer, Don Eastlake III, Jace Foss, Steve Gold, Stu Hellinger, Diane Miller, Kevin Standlee, and Kat Yeager. Thank you!
Again, my concept of adding a bit more each year (rather than trying to do it all at one time) continues to work reasonably well.
Distribution:
I have printed 30 copies of the manual at my personal expense (USD 275).
10 copies are presented herewith to the Chairman of the Business Meeting for distribution as the Chairman deems appropriate.
The remainder are available for USD 10, or GBP 6.5. If I run out, additional copies are available for this cost plus USD 3 postage.
Recommendations:
I feel there is still much work to do and I am interested in taking on the responsibility for another year. I therefore request that the Business Meeting re-appoint me as Editor for another year, to report back again at L.A.con.

[Address removed]
Without objection, the committee was continued under its present charter.
Fred Duarte Jr.
Co-Vice Chair, LoneStarCon 2
This left only MagiCon needing to report. The following report was received subsequently:
Fanac, Inc./MagiCon Report
With apologies to the members, because of changes in Treasurer and subsequent changeover problems, we do not have an original/official financial report. However, we did not have a substantial amount of activity. Primarily, we passed along an additional 14,000.00 USD to Intersection.
A more detailed, written report will be submitted to the WSFS officers to be included in the minutes if wanted.<
Joe\D Siclari
Mr. Russell inquired as to the meaning of "published in advance"; the Chair ruled that new rules would have to be printed with the official documents, and not included by reference, although a reference could be made to an existing parliamentary manual (say "Throckmorton's").
Default debate time 20 minutes; 4, 2, 5, and 10 minutes also proposed; 4 minutes was voted. Mr. Olson made a point of order that people should not distort a voice vote by shouting their votes.
Mr. Bloom moved to require that, if a manual other than Robert's is adopted, the actual manual must be distributed. Mr. Hillis asked whether an objection to consideration was in order: No. Mr. Epstein pointed out that Mr. Bloom's motion would impose an additional financial obligation, and thus could not take effect immediately. At this point the Chair realized that there had been no second to Mr. Bloom's motion.
Ms. Lurie moved to require that a manual other than Robert's, if adopted, be made available at cost to anyone who requests it. Mr. Matthews proposed requiring that such adoption be announced at the previous Worldcon; this was ruled out of order, since there was already an amendment on the floor.
Mr. Yalow asked whether an amendment by substitution would be permitted: Yes. Mr. Yalow then moved to substitute for Ms. Lurie's amendment a prohibition of the incorporation of new rules by reference.
Time having expired, Mr. Olson moved to extend debate time by 10 minutes: No objection.
Ms. Turek suggested requiring the Worldcon to publish information about how to obtain a different manual, rather than itself being the broker. This being also out of order at the moment, Mr. Olson asked how Mr. Yalow's amendment could be defeated and Ms. Turek's brought up, with enough time remaining for debate; the Chair responded that Mr. Yalow's amendment must be disposed of first.
It was moved to close debate on Mr. Yalow's amendment: passed many-few. The question was then on Mr. Yalow's amendment; the nays appeared to have it on a voice vote, and a standing vote confirmed that the amendment failed.
Ms. Lurie then asked unanimous consent to withdraw her amendment: No objection.
Ms. Turek then moved, as above, to amend by requiring publication of availability information. Mr. Olson asked if this could be made a Standing Rule, rather than a part of the Constitution. Mr. Feldbaum made the point of order that the Standing Rules bind the Business Meeting, not the Worldcon Committee. The Chair ruled that the Standing Rules do bind the Worldcon Committee, and stated that he would allow Ms. Turek to withdraw her amendment.
It was now 12:00, the time set for presentations by the 1998 bidders. Mr. Olson moved to postpone the standing order until the current matter was disposed of: Passed by more than two-thirds.
The Chair asked whether there was any objection to suspending the rules to allow consideration of Ms. Turek's Standing Rules amendment: No objection.
Mr. Sacks moved the previous question, but withdrew it upon seeing that others still wished to speak. Eventually the debate was ended by unanimous consent, and Ms. Turek's Standing Rule amendment passed many-few.
[The Secretary has extracted from this mess the following text for the new rule:
Rule 25: If a Worldcon Committee adopts a parliamentary authority for the Business Meeting other than that specified in the Constitution, it must in timely fashion publish information about how to obtain copies of the manual in question.]
The question reverted to the original Item 13' (which, rather surprisingly, still remained unamended from the version proposed by the committee). Mr. Yalow moved the previous question on all pending matters: No objection. Item 14' (Item 14 as amended) was then passed many-few.
Mr. Sacks requested that the committee's opinion [the paragraph in [brackets] above] be included in the report of the Nitpicking and Flyspecking Committee.
Presentations by 1998 Bidders -- The time being 12:09, the special order for presentations by the 1998 bid committees went into effect. The 5-minute Question Time rules (as for the following year's bidders) were applied. The presentations were made in alphabetical order: Atlanta (Bill Ritch), Baltimore (Peggy Rae Pavlat and Covert Beach), Boston (Don and Jill Eastlake), and Niagara Falls (Joe Maraglino).
Mr. Standlee (in his capacity as site-selection administrator) announced that the 1998 results would be made public as soon as they were known. -- Mr. Bloom announced that the Mark Protection Committee would meet after Sunday's Business Meeting.
Ms. Paul asked if the meeting could adjourn in memory of John Brunner: No objection. -- Mr. Sacks moved to commend the Chair on his natty attire. [This was apparently ignored.] -- The meeting adjourned at 12:36 P.M.
[Note of explanation - John Brunner had suffered a stroke on the Friday morning of Intersection, and had died later that day.]
The meeting was called to order at 10:30 A.M.
Report of 1998 Site-Selection Results
Mr. Standlee recused himself from the chair in order to give the report (doffing his jacket and putting on a propeller beanie); Mr. Illingworth assumed the chair. The report was distributed, and was summarized by Mr. Standlee.
The count took 70 minutes (including a dinner break), and was done by 8:15 P.M. Mr. Standlee expressed his thanks to Covert Beach, for developing a spreadsheet for counting (which Mr. Standlee suggested be passed on to future administrators -- Mr. Beach's job next year); to T. R. Smith, for providing a computer; and to everyone who worked as staff, especially his deputy, Richard Wright (who opened the table every day). Since it was a first-ballot victory, the counters had not bothered to go through the showdown process with None of the Above, which in these circumstances couldn't possibly win. (Mr. Standlee suggested that possibly we didn't really want the showdown rule to apply to site-selection tallying.) -- It was noted that only 13 ballots had been received at the U.K. address, 6 of them with no voting fee.
Site Selection Ballot Counts for the 56th WorldCon
| Bid | Mail-In | Thur | Fri | Sat | Total | |
| Atlanta | 91 | 34 | 28 | 41 | 194 | |
| Baltimore | 296 | 117 | 199 | 200 | 812 | Winner |

| Total Valid Ballots | 570 | 213 | 351 | 420 | 1554 | |
| No Voting Fee | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 7 |
Mr. Sacks inquired about people changing their votes. Mr. Standlee replied that he had ruled that it was permissible for voters to change their mail ballots, since ballots are not actually cast until the tallying begins. The Chair (Mr. Illingworth) ruled that this was appropriate. Mr. Caswell moved that this interpretation be added to the Constitution; to consider this would have required a suspension of the rules, and a motion to do so failed overwhelmingly.
Thus Baltimore was the winner of the 1998 Worldcon. -- A presentation was made by Peggy Rae Pavlat and Covert Beach (the latter in a kilt), who distributed copies of their "Broadside Zero." The convention will be known as "Bucconeer" [so capitalized in Broadside Zero], and will take place on August 5-9, 1998. Guests of Honor will include C. J. Cherryh, Milton A. Rothman, Stanley Schmidt, and Michael Whelan, with Charles Sheffield as Toastmaster.
Mr. Standlee resumed the chair at 10:52. -- Next on the agenda were the presentations by future Worldcons and bidders. The Chair asked if there were any objection to postponing these items to the end of the printed agenda. There was objection.
Presentations by Future Selected Worldcons -- Presentations were made by LoneStarCon 2 (Fred Duarte and Karen Meschke) and L.A.con III (Mike Glyer).
Presentations by 1999 Bidders -- Mr. Beach (next year's site-selection administrator) reported that no bid had completely filed yet; the deadline would be March 2. -- A presentation was made by Australia (Stephen Boucher). No one was present from Zagreb or Las Vegas, the other known bidders.
Mr. Bloom moved the previous question, which passed. Item 15 was then passed (voice vote confirmed by standing vote).
Mr. Olson raised a point of personal privilege, asking what the green liquid in front of the Chair was. (The Secretary made the point of order that this was actually a point of privilege of the assembly.) The Chair responded that it was some sort of lime cordial.
Default debate time 20 minutes; no other time was proposed.
Mr. Russell asked whether "program" included films; the Chair responded that this question had never really been resolved. Ms. Turek asked whether a "sequence" could be interpreted as a single program (so that that program and a longer sequence including it could not both be eligible); Mr. Flynn responded that the committee had intended "sequence" to imply more than one program. (It was noted, however, that a "dramatic unit" would conflict with the eligibility of the season that included it.) There were various questions as to what constitutes a "season"; the Chair felt that this should be left to the judgment of the administrators. Would the nomination of one season make the entire multi-year series including that season ineligible later? Yes. -- Mr. Yalow moved to suspend the rules to postpone Item 16 indefinitely; fewer than two-thirds voted in favor, so the motion failed.
Mr. Smookler suggested changing "program" to "production". -- Mr. Sacks asked for a ruling on whether "production" would include two-part episodes; the Chair ruled that it meant only an individual program unit. Mr. Yalow appealed this ruling, stating his intent to be the erasure of the ruling, so that administrators would not be constrained in ruling on eligibility. Mr. Sacks asked how the opposite inquiry could be gotten on the record: by moving a resolution to that effect. Mr. Sacks moved the previous question on the appeal: Passed overwhelmingly. On the question "Shall the Chair's ruling be sustained?", the ruling was overwhelmingly overturned. -- Meanwhile, it had been asked whether "production" could include a commercial: Yes.
Mr. Bloom moved to commit Item 16 a committee to report back next year. Mr. Sacks asked whether it would be in order to amend the motion to commit: Yes; in response to another inquiry, the previous question was also in order. Mr. Sacks moved to amend by having the committee report on Monday morning. Mr. Eastlake moved to call the question on the two pending motions: Passed many-2. Mr. Sacks's amendment then failed, on a vote of 20-23. On Mr. Bloom's motion, the ayes appeared to have it on a voice vote, and a standing vote yielded 25-22 in favor. Mr. Bloom's motion therefore passed, and Item 16 was referred to a committee.
Mr. Olson asked whether the committee could consider other motions to amend: Yes. Could he submit an amendment, and ask the committee to provide clear wording? Yes.
The Chair appointed Sharon Sbarsky to chair the committee, with instructions to supplement the membership as she sees fit. Ms.Sbarsky stated that she would set up a mailing list.
The agenda having been completed, Mr. Sacks moved to adjourn without date; the Chair observed that he didn't hear that.
Mr. Siclari submitted a MagiCon report in lieu of a financial report: see p. 8 for the text.
It was asked whether Apa:WSFS would be continued, since no money was left. The Chair suggested that Worldcon Committees contribute; however, the next issue would be funded by Intersection, for the purpose of sending out the minutes. Mr. Olson reported that he would try to get funding, or would ask for individual contributions. The Chair commended Mr. Olson's work on the apa: Approved unanimously.
Mr. Bloom announced that the Mark Protection Committee would meet at 12:30.
The Chair presented gavel-shaped pencils to the podium staff. Mr. Bloom moved to commend the podium staff for examplary performance: Passed.
Without objection, the meeting adjourned sine die at 12:24 P.M.
Not including the podium staff, the attendance lists were signed by 49 people on Friday, 57 on Saturday, and 59 on Sunday. A total of 90 people (compared with 239 last year) signed one or more attendance lists or are otherwise known to have been present.
