A new rack and new disks purchased with a great warranty is the most logical
step. Part of Cyberspace's mission is the advancement of scientific endeavors
but Grex is being treated like the shuttle Challenger.
The Cyberspace Communications Board of Directors have a fiduciary
responsibility to protect assets from potential liabilities. I would say that
the system being unavailable with this frequency is a liability that needs
mitigation.
As a board member of Arbornet, I've recognized this liability in same and have
worked through back channels to acquire a rack mount system with Rex Roof.
This has had zero financial burden to the corporation and membership and
sooner than later we can expect to hear it is ready to go live. Simply put,
M-Net is light years ahead of Grex in the "uptime" realm.
We have not had our mandatory annual Arbornet meeting and have rather focused
on the real issues at hand (i.e. downtime.
It would be a pleasure to utilize my resources to help Cyberspace
Communications realize such benefits as an elected board member.

With a new rack and a policy that you have just seen in writing, it should
seem foolish that one would not vote for todd plesco.

I predict that Todd will lose, but only because Grex won't be up long enough
for the election to take place.

Steve VanLoons has announced in mail, to the board, that he is resigning
from Grex's board. He sited the fact that he's not been at a meeting in
a long time and that this would be a good time to step down, what with an
election at hand.
That I remember, this hasn't come up before. I'll suggest we simply
increase the number of candidates for this election from four to five
and not change any of the deadlines. What do other folks think?
Also, thanks to Steve for his service on the board.

Nominations close November 15 - seven days from now.
Here are the nominees thus far. I've noted those who have accepted
and marked with a * those who are members currently. (To appear on the
ballot, you have to be a member in good standing by the time voting
starts on December 1.)
slynne* (accepted)
bhoward* (accepted)
polygon* (accepted)

tod* (accepted)
aruba* (accepted)

I think it would be consistent with the bylaws to handle the vacancy as
Mary suggests in #37, using five slots instead of four. The Board
should probably authorize this officially.

Steve's term had another year to run, I believe. So we want to ignore
that and simply go to elections of five and two instead of four and three,
alternate years?
Or we could have the winning candidate getting the fewest votes fill the
remainder of Steve's term, which is one year. In the event of a tie, flip
a coin or draw lots.
I'd rather something along the lines of the later, so we could keep the
number of candidates each election year as it has been.

I agree with Mary in #41, but maybe it should be a seperate election
entirely?

I'd like to nominate a few more people:
Walter Cramer (i)
Eric Bassey (other)
Ken Josenhans (krj)
You'd all be (have been) a great fit for this job.
Please consider accepting the nomination.

I would like to second happyboy's nomination, only because I like him, not
because I expect him to accept or anything.
But who knows. Maybe before slynne nominated, she made sure it'd be accepted.
Maybe we're in for a surprise, folks.
