May I suggest the inclusion of an item for election of new officers after
the treasurer report (since one wouldn't expect the brand new chair to
have a report prepared before being elected, and the same might be said
of the treasurer, although I suspect there will be a high level of
continuity with respect to that particular position...).

Doh! That was a no-brainer.

Wow, Mark makes *cool* agendas. Can he be President *and* treasurer?

Except that the bylaws don't mention a President, I see no bar to the chair
being also secretary and treasurer. At least, not the way I read Article 3a.

We could make him "President of the Association to Host Grex Board
Meetings".

I am curious to know if the word "agenda" was created in response
numbered zero using a Figlet font.

I feel a sense of deja vu.

yeah, but let's make it clear: As it is now, the newly elected treasurer is
expected to report on the state of the treasury. Would it not make more sense
for that report to be given by the current treasurer? So have him report,
_then_ elect his successor.

The reason I put the election of officers first is so that the old chair
could pass the gavel to the new chair, who could preside over the rest of
the meeting. The old officers and the new officers can collaborate on the
various reports.
Also, we should elect the secretary early in the meeting so he or she can
take notes for the rest of the meeting. (Plus the new secretary has to sign
the savings account papers.)
Having said all that, the way these things usually go, someone will be late,
so we'll have to delay the election of officers until after some other stuff
is done. :(

Oh, and yes, I used the figlet "speed" font. And I believe the bylaws do
say that the chair of the board is also to be known as the president for
purposes of corporate law. (Or something like that.)

Would this be an okay place to talk about how we will
proceed if folks are late to meetings? I'd like to
have folks in agreement as to how long we'll wait, to meet
quorum, before we call the meeting off. I'd suggest 1/2
hour after the announced starting time. And I'd also like
to see meetings start on time if we have a quorum.

I'm in complete agreement with both those things.

As for Mary's comment in #14- I completely agree.

I won't be able to attend the meeting, but I'd like for the issue
of mail from comcast to grex to be addressed in the staff report.
When last I tried it, mail routed through smtp.comcast.net was
being rejected by Grex as spam, which made it kind of hard for me
to send email after the MediaOne/Comcast switchover. I fixed this
by changing smtp servers, but others might not be in a position
to do this. So I'm curious if the problem has been fixed, or
if not, what can be done to fix it.
(I can't test it right now since my comcast connection is down...)
