BOARD PAPER

Agenda Item: 4.2 APB Committee

Author: Steve Gobby

Date of Meeting: July 23, 2020

Type of Report: For Information Only

Update:

President Odendal / Members of the Executive Board:

This report is further my report of April 29, 2020.

The July 2020 issue of the APB is out and available online in the Members Only section of iaati.org.
Contrary to what I wrote in my last report, this issue will not be mailed out to members in the US. We
have received word from Robert Durham that they have not been successful in securing sponsorship for
the APB. As a result, their revenue stream (and consequently ours), is at an all-time low. Furthermore, it is
highly unlikely that any mailing will take place in the foreseeable future. We may be moving closer and a
closer to on online-only magazine. Time will tell.

However, as promised, the current issue is available online as a download “page flip” version which makes
the reading experience much easier and more enjoyable.

We cannot foresee how long this situation (Covid-19 and poor revenue stream) will continue. However,
please be assured we will continue to publish the APB online and continue to strive to maintain the
highest quality product possible.

As always, I remain available for any questions or discussion.

Steve Gobby
APB Editor
