The meeting was called to order at 7:12pm.

Old/New Business: Was not listed on the agenda and was subsequently not discussed.

SM Report: On Thursday of last week Rob Robertson came down and installed the new ether connections. We have 11 new connections set up we are still waiting for the addresses and for them to be added to the name server.

As of right now there we are going to be able to do re-registration
using Rob's database.  It seems to work, Alan is going to test it 
some more before implementing it.  The way it works is the user
enters their last name, SID and birthday and it will determine if 
that is correct and that they are a student or not.  Alan does not
know if we will be able to use this for faculty/staff accounts.  It
was brought up that concurrently enrolled students do not have SID
Alan said that an alternate plan would be formed for those that are
in that or similar situations.

Alan is still working on finger, please test it and send bugs to him.

We have one more ether connection than Apollows with ethernet cards
so that will be used to put up an IPC.

DUMB Elections: The DUMB (Disk Usage Management Board) is responsible for dealing with quota waivers and such. Marco entertained nominations for the 3 person board until a discussion began as to whether we needed the to have a DUMB at all. After much discussion it was decided to keep the DUMB.

Nominated:  Clw, Twaung, Monroe, Jsl, Nevman
At this point a motion was made to expand the DUMB to 5 members,
the motion failed (5/7).

Elected Members:  Clw, Twaung, Nevman

New BoD Members: Erikm, Jsl, and Monroe requested to be added to the BoD. They were added unanimously.

The meeting closed at 7:49pm.
