- The objective of the AAC is to help us better plan the future of Amiga
- through close communications with people who are viewed as leaders in
- the Amiga community. The members of the AAC have all executed
- non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), with Amiga and will have access to
- confidential information regarding future products and plans. This
- allows Amiga to share sensitive information with respected members of
- the Amiga community without having to disclose our plans publicly.

- The members of the AAC were selected to represent their different areas of
- affiliation within the Amiga community - the Press, Developers,
- Dealers/Distributors, and the User Group organizations. The AAC is designed
- to provide a flow of information from the Community to the Amiga management
- team and from Amiga back to the community. Each of the members of the AAC will
- act as a conduit to the community and the areas that they represent.

- We held our first official meetings with the AAC in London and in Sacramento
- with over 20 AAC members participate in these first official meetings. The AAC
- was able to share with Amiga many of the desires, and needs of the community.
- As we work towards the launch of the Next Generation Amiga the input received
- by the AAC will help guide those decisions.

- "We are excited to welcome the members of the AAC as active representatives of
- the Amiga community and look forward to implementing many of the programs
- suggested in the near future, stated Jim Collas, "together we will make a
- difference in computing forever."
