A) CATV Report: With recent updates and improvements to channel 24, Clayton is receiving more requests to publish announcements.

3. New Business
A) Resident Privacy Policy: Clayton waiting for legislature to address this issue prior to drafting a policy.
B) Key Contact List: Bill Provencal sent through contact list he has developed as webmaster. Clayton and town administrator will work on getting two key contacts for each committee. Discussed meeting with these key contacts and/or inviting them to see the new website to generate support for the site.
C) New Website Schedule: May remains the target date. Matt will work on developing the library’s site over the next week or two. Once the library site is in place, Clayton will review with the library.
D) Sub-domains: Committee agreed to have the larger website users such as the fire department and library use sub-domains for user generated/entered content (example: Fire.Pittsfield-NH.com). Discussed allowing text on the middle page to be modifiable by departments.
