> campaigns during 1999 on the following issues:
 
> 	- Hate Crimes, Violence, and Discrimination,

> the future of the coalition. This new board 
> structure, planned to be implemented early 
> next year, will be announced later in 1999. 
> Minutes of the board meeting are posted on the 
> NCSF website at www.ncsfreedom.org.
 
> "These changes reiterate the NCSF's commitment 
> to fight the ignorance, discrimination, and 
> violence faced by the SM/Leather/Fetish 
> community throughout this country," said Jack 
> McGeorge, Chairman of the Board of the NCSF. 
> "By narrowing our focus to those issues of 
> paramount importance to our community, we 
> believe NCSF, with community support, can 
> achieve change."
