the collective affairs of the SIGs and to advise the Board of Directors
about the mutual interests and common problems of the SIGs.

Representatives, each of whom serves a two-year staggered term. Members of
the Steering Committee are responsible for evaluating and approving all
Project and Reserve Fund requests and for serving as liaisons between the
SIGs and the Cabinet Director.

The other members of the SIG Cabinet are the Cabinet Representatives
elected or appointed by each SIG to represent them in this body. Each SIG
must choose a representative and an alternate representative with the
expectation that one of them will attend all Cabinet annual meetings.

Neither ASIST nor individual SIGs may support the travel expenses of
attendees at the SIG Cabinet Meeting. These expenses must be borne by the
individuals. An individual need not be a registered attendee at the meeting
in order to represent a SIG at the Cabinet annual meeting.
