A discussion of rereg policies followed the setting of quotas. The Site Manager asked for a replacement for Andrew, who ran rereg last semester. However, no board members volunteered. Rune Stromsness (runes@ocf) motioned that "the general manager shall submit to the board of directors, names of people who would be otherwise not eligible for an account if the general manager determines that the user will provide a significant benefit to the OCF. These people will be eligible for an account if confirmed by the board until the next general re-registration." The motion passed with eleven in favor, and one abstaining. The board then moved to a discussion of the Disk Management Board.
