Lera moved: Appendix Z [Outline for Writing a Cave Management Plan] is amended as follows:
Access Policy
This section is one of the most important items of any cave management plan. In this section, the committee must list what requirements must be met by those who wish to visit the property and should state whether the cave is open only at certain times of the year, open all year, or not at all. The potential is great for misunderstanding and hard feelings if the access policies are not clear, fair, and widely known.
Your management plan should reflect the fact that all Society cave properties should be managed in such a way as to minimize the Society's liability in case of accidents. The management plan should state that NSS caves shall be managed in such ways as to qualify under state or local landowner liability exemption laws, to legally define unauthorized visitors as trespassers under local law, and to inform authorized visitors of the hazardous nature of the cave by requiring them to sign a liability release as directed by the Legal Committee.
<<Cave Management:
When managing a cave, one must not assume that the management plan is effective. The cave should be monitored for degradation. The managers may evaluate the desirability and practicality of various monitoring strategies. The strategies may include, but are not limited to, photo monitoring, water quality monitoring, and periodic censusing of indicator species. In order for degradation to be noted, a baseline condition should be established as soon as possible.
If monitoring indicates degradation of the cave, revising the management plan to minimize degradation should be considered and acted on, as appropriate. >>

Paquette moved: The assets of the Joe Ivy Endowment for Cave Exploration are combined with those of the International Exploration Fund << . >> <to create the Joe Ivy International Exploration Fund. > The Joe Ivy Endowment for Cave Exploration << is terminated. >> <and International Exploration funds are terminated. >
The purpose of the Joe Ivy International Exploration Fund is to provide income to the Society for grants to fund group cave exploration outside of the United States. The fund was established through donations and is managed as a temporarily restricted quasi-endowment fund. Each fiscal year an amount up to 5.5% of the total fund value is used for this purpose. These funds may be spent by the chairman of the International Exploration Committee subject to the approval of the Executive Vice President. Grants from this fund shall stipulate that the expedition will provide an article on the expedition for publication in the NSS NEWS, or an audio/visual program for distribution for the NSS A/V Library within one year from receiving the grant.
The Treasurer will ask the NSF to make the appropriate changes in the NSS-NSF contract.
Jagnow seconded.
[Joe Ivy Endowment Fund for Cave Exploration 18-692 3-23-02, 11-04-00
The purpose of the Joe Ivy Endowment Fund for Cave Exploration is to provide grants to young cavers to fund cave exploration trips, primarily to Mexico. The Fund was established by donors and is managed as a temporarily restricted quasi-endowment fund. Annually the NSS withdraws 5.5% of the Fund's total value for this purpose. By a two-thirds vote, the Society's Board of Governors may require the return to the Society of any or all of the Fund that has not previously been distributed to the Society. Grants will be several hundred dollars each, large enough to fund the bulk of a four-to-six-week trip: transportation, food, lodging, maps, special equipment, etc. Grants will be given to individuals for personal expenses, rather than to projects or groups. Grants will be awarded based on the following criteria:
Applicants should have a reasonable amount of caving experience. Experience will be measured by enthusiasm, determination, and quality of caving, rather than number of years caving or a list of caves visited.
Applicants should be vertically competent. Desire to learn will count more than participation in training programs or a list of pits bounced.
Applicants should have skills to contribute to productive exploration. Being a good sport will be considered more valuable than surveying, drafting, photography, or ability to carry group gear.
Applicants should demonstrate the characteristics of a good team member including initiative; positive attitude; open-mindedness; willingness to lead and take direction; ability to amuse one’s self; curiosity to experience new things and eat weird food; desire to find, explore, and document caves.
International Exploration Fund 18-454 3-23-02, 11-08-97, 11-9-91, 11-9-91, 10-26-85
The International Exploration Fund is established to assist Society sponsored speleological expeditions to be supported by contributions raised for this specific purpose. Applications for grants from the International Exploration Fund will be directed to the International Exploration Committee, which will develop appropriate guidelines and require an accounting of how money is utilized by expedition organizers. Grants from the International Exploration Fund may be made by the International Exploration Committee with the approval of the Executive Vice President. It is not the intent of this Act that grants will be routinely awarded for expeditions within the United States or Canada. Grants from this fund shall stipulate that the expedition will provide an article on the expedition for publication in the NSS NEWS, or an audio/visual program for distribution for the NSS A/V Library within one year from receiving the grant.]
