As usual, if I've forgotten anything that needs discussion
please remind me.
I've added two items and I'll explain what's up. We have
at least one candidate running for the next board so I'd like
to have some discussion on how we might accommodate a real time
remote session. And is it even wildly possible we could
audio stream our board meetings for those who are bored
enough to listen in?
The second item is to discuss what happens when copyright
protected material is made public though a user's directory.
We are just starting to get information about such a case
involving Grex. I really don't know much more about it but
it does sound like something we should address at the next
meeting.

That should been, we have at least one *non-local* candidate
running for the board.

As far as I know, jp2 and myself are the twp non-local candidates running
this time.
I believe zingerman's have wireless access. Setting up a laptop to record
and/or stream audio may not be such a big deal to implement. If anyone has
a mac with a camera, the latest versions of ichat would make this pretty
straight forward and also the option of video.

It's micro-managing.

What? You mean a discussion of the rather precarious state of GreX staff does
not warrant a place in the BoD meeting?

Your opinion does not an issue make. Get used to it.

I don't think he was implying his opinion made an issue, sir, but rather that
it's an issue because it's important to Grex, the organisation.

I don't think the topic entered in #5 makes the situation at Grex precarious.
I agree that it doesn't belong on the agenda.

O, what, all GreX staff members are known and accounted for?

I just thought of something to add to the agenda: moving cyberspace.org from
verisign over to dotster. Last year we move grex.org and it worked out
fine, so I'm in favor of moving cyberspace.org and getting aay from
verisign, to save money and to quit giving money to an evil company that has
screwed us in the past.

Sounds good to me. I moved some domains at work from Verisign to
Dotster and it went great. Verisign keeps trying to trick me into
switching back with advertising emails that look like renewal notices.

Ahh, yes. This is something which bears a little looking into. I'd
like staff to try to present any available information available on
the impact of the switch, and if there is as little as I think there
is, then we should definitely do this.

My experience was that it went seamlessly and was surprisingly painless.
I personally find Dotster's domain management system easier to use than
Verisign's, as well.
