Technical Committee Report:
It was a quiet month for the technical committee. dang and jared worked
through the night partitioning the new disk and fixing the troubles they found
in getting it to boot once it was partitioned.
scott got a lot of modems fixed and all 13 lines are now open and working.
We're short one GVC power supply.
The technical committee recommends that we consider switching very soon from
our current 7E1 settings to the much more common 8N1. To do this with minimal
disruption, and announcement should be made in the MOTD announcing a July 1
changeover.

The Board took a few minutes to fill out the Michigan Sales Tax application
so that GREX can begin selling promotional materials over the web.
Does GREX Accept Corporate Members?:
aruba motions: I move that we interpret the by-laws to say
that corporations may not become members of
GREX at the present. They are, of course,
welcome to donate. Current corporate members
may continue to hold memberships through the
date they have already paid for.
dang seconds.
The motion passes 6-0-0
The board goes on to say that there is a concensus amongst us that there
*ought* to be a non-voting corporate membership, but that the creation of one
will require a membership vote and a change in the by-laws.
