Ides of March meeting: At a previous meeting, STeve suggested having an 
in-person gathering to discuss Grex and its future. There are 
questions/concerns raised and STeve not at the meeting to address these 
issues. It s been suggested that we use Town Hall item for everyone to 
participate, not just the locals. Gelinas moved and Denise seconded that
 we not have this meeting at this time. Motion carried.

Potential New Validation Methods: Who is currently validating new users?
 Cross has been, tsty had been [will he continue?]. Slynne had in the 
past, needs to relearn how to do so [as stated in another online item]. 
Instructions available to staff; remmers to post these so others can 
see. What other methods besides email? Paypal would varify but would it 
be validation? How can we implement an automated email process? Or 
through paypal, friends, other members?

Web Newuser: At one point, cross was out of the country; is/will he be 
available to             work on this project? Can other staff access 
and help with this project? 

Staff Departures, Absences, Additions: As mentioned above, cross hasn t 
been able to be as active as he has in the past; will he be able to help
 in the future? Various staff members have limited time available. It
was  moved to add kentn to staff with root access, motion carried.  We
still  encourage others to help with projects as they are able and have
it  [whatever it is] looked at/approved by a staff member [for example,
as  veek has been doing].  

Town Hall Cf. Item and Planning: -Can we make agora searchable on 
google? Would we want to? We may lose a few people but could we bring in
 new users?  

5, Status Reports:
Treasurer s Report: tsty not available to present a report. Gelinas will
 try to get in touch with ts about status of treasury and see if he d 
still continue as assistant treasurer [board states officers need to be 
on the board]. Staff Report: -Someone bombed some mailboxes with
thousands of spam  messages; what s up with that? Walter [i] has been
working on it.  -The  FreeBSD remmers set up is still up and running and
backing up of  conferences and SVN repository.

Under Status Report, the parenthetical "[board states officers need to
be on the board]" should read "[bylaws state officers . . . ]"

(It occurs to me that it might be nice to have a paper copy of this item
to refer to at the next meeting, when we approve these minutes, as
amended. ;)

I can do that, I think.  I'll just try to remember to bring that along
with the agenda copies.
