The Association for Co�nunity and Institutior�21 Cable Access has .
studied the wor�:ing paper prepared by Linda Camp and sub�itted to
you on rTovember�l9. As a result of ouz. review, we make the following
• reco�nendations : •
. 1- A single group of incorporators should be selected. This group - '
should include �repres�ntatives from bo�h institutions and the ,
. community (the "single incorporators group r�odel") .
2- This group� of incorporators should be afforded stafr support
' f rom the City. . � � ,
3- There should be between five and seven representatives serving
2s incorporators for each� corp oration. The total number of -
. incorporators should not eYCeed fifteen. .
4- The incorporators should be selected through the open appointments �
process. , .
S- The most important criteria for selection. of incorporators must• .
be the creation of an effective working group uhich is sensitive
and responsi.ve to the needs of St Paul. We believe it is more
. i�portant that the people selected be knowled�eable and ca�abZe
of respondin� to tlie concerns of the �any. speci2l interest �rou�s
� rather than composed of representativesof those groups. � �
With the folloWing exceptions ue believe tl�e possible list of � ,
�� criteria for incorporators, {page 2. IIZ of the Nov. 19 working paper)
.' ," is appropriate: . �
- kfi ile it may be heloful to have a majority of incorporators
who are residents of St Pzul, -there is no need €or an '
� absolute residency requirement. Such a restriction may
� � exclude the participation of people and institutions�wittl �
valuable knoc�led�e and �experience. .
' .� - Neither a�e nor geographic distribution within the city
. are relevant criteria for incor�orators. jde believe the �
; incorpotators may subsequently deterr�ine that these factors � :
� are inportant for the selection of the r�embers of the Board

6- The appoint�ents process should 'oe opened on March 1, 1983;

7- The incorporators should be appo�nted after the intial desi€nation
of tne franchisee, prefera5l� within two k*eeks of �hat selection�
_ � � but at least 6J days before the franchise ordinance is passed.
This protects the incorporztion process fro� the pressures involved
in selectin� a fra�►chisee, but nernits effective participation in
