I'm not sure how you all link in remote board members, but if you
don't already, and have enough to do it, you may want to check out
using a conference bridge.  There's a couple of free conference sites
out there.  (I think FreeConference.com is one.)  Anyway, personally
I use one of the Talkee bridges where the PLA hangs out.  The bridge
number is:

  (413) 370-0333

When asked for your pre-assigned conference code, enter any 3-digit
code.  Of course, all the remote board members (and whoever is at
the meeting) need to use the same code, lest you'll end up in all
separate rooms.  Just don't use 752, as that's the PLA room, and you
might be rudely interrupted by a bunch of guys talking techie stuff
(hmm..then again..that might fit in) and wanting to make prank phone
calls (which probably doesn't.)

Bridge itself isn't owned by PLA.  It's owned by Talkee.com.

Maybe use 479 (GRX) as the code?

Of course, any applicable domestic long distance charges would apply
to the call for each person.  If that isn't a problem, it would also
be neat as since board meetings (AFAIK) are open to the public, it
would allow us remote Grexers to join in. :)

as I brought up in the relevant item, I don't think any formal action 
on a new subpoena policy should be taken at this meeting.  The board 
needs to know how the membership feels and not make this decision 
themselves.  The board should request a member vote on whatever 
suggestions are made

response 11 of 23: Mark Unseen   Feb 17 12:36 UTC 2005

Dead wrong, in my opinion.  The board has a responsibility to do
something  ASAP.  The membership is free to do something whenever it
wants, regardless of what the board does.

Why ASAP?

response 13 of 23: Mark Unseen   Feb 17 17:41 UTC 2005

Because it's UNLUCKY

DON"T FOPRGET TO TALK ABOUT HOW EXACTKLY YOU"RE GPOIGN TO JAIL ME

response 15 of 23: Mark Unseen   Feb 18 04:02 UTC 2005

12:  Because there is a distinct possibility of legal liability, and not
even having done the due diligence to address the issue can only make
our position worse in the event something does happen.

I wonder why other thinks we should pay attention in regards to this issue
to people whose idea of justice includes:  1) jailing people for boyish pranks
and 2) jailing the people who didn't commit the boyish pranks.

So what came out of the meeting?  Did the board vote to adopt a policy 
on subpoenas?  
slynne
response 19 of 23: Mark Unseen   Feb 20 21:43 UTC 2005

We did not have a quorum so no votes were made. We did discuss some 
options for a subpoena policy though. dpc took notes and I am sure he 
will be posting them as soon as they are ready.

STeve and aruba.

I'll be posting the minutes of this "informational meeting" (actually 
not a meeting at all) within the next day or two.
