Site Manager Roy Rapoport opened the meeting in the initial absence of General Manager Adam Richter.

Discussion about some possible changes to the Constitution was made, and it was decided to table the matter until next week to allow Leigh Haynes to prepare her recommendations.

Complaints about people using OCF facilities for commercial uses (and more specifically using Usenet to advertise) were discussed. After considering the Usenet "rules", NSFNet policy, and the student group regulations, the board decided to adopt the following policy: Use of the OCF for an ongoing business is prohibited. Notice of such use will result in such use being stopped.

The board discussed deleting any account which is not used within a month after its creation. It was decided that the account forms needed to be modified to warn users of this before this policy was implemented, and Kier volunteered to bring a modified account form to the next meeting.

Partha reported that the EJC budget request is due March 12. Adam, Kier, and Partha are preparing our request for next year's funding.

A committee was also formed to look into collecting and rewriting all the policies floating around various OCF documents.
