III. Reports

General Manager

The GM reported that the OCF is now officially registered with SAS.  
He also discussed his presentation at the September Webnet meeting,
which took place 15 September 1998 around lunchtime.  Richard was 
one of two students among a number of staff members.  There were
a number of presentations regarding WWW access on campus.  Our
presentation was received favorably and generated the most amount
of questions.  Richard handed out a lot of flyers to interested 
parties.

Site Manager

The SM reported that pestilence is now up and running as the backup
mail server.  All of the aliases have been updated for the new 
officers and for Board of Directors.  Root passwords have been
changed.  We have three new staff members who Kat is encouraging to
come to OCF Board of Directors meetings.  Kat also plans to meet 
with Preston sometime soon, though she hasn't yet.  She is also 
waiting for Luns to get keys to her.  A question was asked regarding
whether the group bod had also been updated with new Board Members.
Kat replied with the affirmative.

IV. Old Business

DMB

There was a quick review the power of BoD in creating DMB policies,
since some of those present hadn't attended that particular portion
of the General Meeting the week before.  Richard brought out a 
skeleton set of policies for the Board to discuss and add to.  A
few suggestions were made to the draft that Richard had brought in,
including setting the limitations of DMB to grant waivers (suggested
to be approximately one year - the end of the next semester following
the request) and the limitations of how much space DMB could grant
(suggested to be up to twice the default quota of the OCF).  Anything
outside that level would go to the Board of Directors.  The DMB would
also have to record their decisions and warn the users before their
quota waiver is up so that account holders can reapply for a waiver,
to reassess their needs, etc.  The Board of Directors would also 
receive a copy of decisions made by the DMB.  More discussion will
follow in the meetings to come.

Quotas

The quotas, originally set at 4MB soft and 5MB hard, were changed to
10MB soft and 11MB hard.  Richard moved to increase to increase the
quotas to that number.  Saar seconded.  Motion passed 4-0.  The Site
Manager was asked to implement and inform the users.

Fire Safety Policy

Kat will start working on one.

V. New Business

Request for Additional Account

asha@ocf asked the Site Manager for a second account for a subgroup 
of their group.  Discussion came to the consensus that each group 
can only have 1 account and that Kat should discuss alternatives 
with them.
