The meeting was called to order at 6:00pm.

HARDWARE STATUS: Prof. Hardyck's office has signed everything that it knows it has to sign in order for the donation to proceed. Unfortunately, Tom Noll, unaware of the situation, left town this week. Things should proceed on Monday.

CCS MEETINGS: Partha is going to ask Brian Harvey or Nory Ison about the possibility of having an OCF representative attend the CCS/CS/Math web administration meetings.

NEW ACCOUNTS: We decided to attempt to procure a database of all registered students and their registration numbers so that we could automatically create accounts. We also decided that all users will be required to sign an as-yet-unspecified statement saying that they would abide by OCF rules.

OCF USER POLICY AND COMPUTER ETIQUETTE: Adam Richter's proposed OCF User Policy document and OCF Computer Etiquette document is going to be discussed and rewritten by interested parties, and brought another OCF board meeting, hopefully the next one.

BYLAWS: The OCF adopted a set of bylaws which are intended to further define the implementation of the OCF bureaucracy. These bylaws take effect after the board meeting, meaning that no directors will automatically removed until they have missed the next meeting and the meeting following that.

The adopted bylaws are as follows between the dashed lines:

  1. The General Manager and the Site Managers cannot appoint directors except when the OCF is not in session and the Board of Directors cannot make a quorum because there are fewer than five directors in town.

  2. The OCF Board of Directors shall meet weekly.

  3. Any Director missing two consecutive regularly scheduled meetings will be removed from the Board.

  4. OCF Board meetings must be announced to all Directors at least twenty-four hours in advance.

  5. Resolutions by the Board of Directors can be put to a vote electronically. When putting a resolution to the Board in this manner, all Board members must be included in the request for votes. To pass an issue this way, at least half of all the Board members must agree. If the motion fails to achieve a majority within seventy-two hours of being called to such a vote, the motion fails. The results of the vote will be posted in role call form.

  6. Attendance lists and minutes for all OCF meetings shall be maintained for the decisions of that meeting to be valid.

The meeting adjourned at 9:00pm.

We do not guaranteed that the meeting will gravitate to a
restaurant next time.
