If this is your second copy of the minutes, sorry for the extra, but I don't think everyone got a copy the first time about 12 hours ago...

At somewhere around ten after seven (p.m. that is) the meeting was called to order by the General Manager. Members of the Board who were present include: Adam Marc Adrian Mike Andrew Partha Boyd Peter Case Robert Drew Sean George Shelly As a special guest, David Goldfarb was present as well.

Publicity: Partha said that the Daily Cal would get back to him.

CSUA: It was noted by Partha that there are CSUA elections in the near future.

EJC: No new business other than that we now have a mailbox with them. George noted that our budget had been returned unscathed.

Printer Issues: Robert reported that after lots of interviewing with various people we need to send a memo to Hardyck through Brian Harveyto "tell them what we are doing." No date specified, though it was brought up that we need to come up with a solid price for printing. Adrian said that he was "working on it" with regard to the software needed to implement the print quotas. "Due to circumstances beyond my control" it is not yet ready but should be Sunday night. Robert suggested that we start collecting money now, but objections were raised and it was decided that it would be best to wait. Until then, we should just discourage people from printing as much as possible. It was brought up that we must decide how much warning to give users before we implement the quotas. No real conclusion was reached though it was generally thought enough time that people would know but not too much that they would print out their whole directories. An official statement was drafted and is follows: Printer quotas will be in effect 2 April 1990. You may pay for your quota at any time. They are payable by check to the Open Computing Facility (not OCF). A print group was formed consisting of Adam, Adrian, George, Robert and Sean. They should be responsible for collecting money and raising quotas. Print quota's for staff was discussed though it was decided that we would worry about the details later. Bank: Still unresolved.

Elections: They are to be held in Room 10 Evans at 7:00 on the evening of the 21st of March. All are invited and encouraged to attend. Case brought up that it would be a good idea to implement some rules for the upcoming elections. Ideas included order of elections, the offices to be elected, time limits, and rules as to who can question who. It was decided that a committee should be formed to ponder these issues and volunteers were collected. The committee is to be chaired (well co-chaired) by Case and Partha and other members are to Adam, Adrian, Boyd, Mike, and Sean. A committee on committees was proposed but was generally considered a bad idea. Andrew volunteered to make a spiffy poster in PostScript for the upcoming election. All the usual stuff should be included such as date, time, and place.

Games Rehash: David Goldfarb was present to hear first-hand the wisdom of the Board concerning the Games Policy. Our wisdom was made clear to him and he was satisfied for the most part with the policy, once explained. Reasons given included were that there is a need to establish credibility with people of influence as well as serving the needs of those who need to need to do some real work.

Apollo Stuff: Partha announced there is a meeting with Carelli Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. probably at least starting in the CSUA but could move from there. People who said they would be there include Adrian, Drew, Case, Adam, and Partha.

The meeting was closed without further ado...
