General Manager

The GM printed out a message sent to gm and sm regarding a chess
server.  The issue was tabled to New Business.

Site Manager

The SM reported that the OCF had an eventful week.  Conquest went down
on Thursday and apocalypse went down on the 7th, both with disk 
problems.  The rotating DNS project has been postponed until the 
servers show a little more stability.

Disk Management Board

Saar moved that the Board pass the following policy, Naim seconded.
The Board of Directors passed the following policy with a 5-0-0
vote.

DMB Powers:
  The Disk Management Board (DMB) shall have the authority to grant 
  temporary quota increases to any OCF account.  The DMB may not grant 
  an increase that would cause any account's quota to exceed twice the 
  base quota for OCF accounts, nor may it grant an increase that lasts 
  longer than the final day of the first full semester following the 
  date of the request.  Any quota increase request which is given to 
  the DMB, and which exceeds the time or space authorizations the DMB is 
  allowed to make, shall be given to the Board of Directors for a final 
  decision.  The Board of Directors shall have the power to override 
  any DMB decision in any respect.

DMB Operating Policies:
  The DMB shall respond to all quota requests and follow-up messages
  within 72 hours, including making a decision if all relevant 
  information has been provided by the user.  The DMB shall send an
  Email reminder to any account whose quota increase is expiring within
  4 weeks of the expiration date, to allow that account a change for
  a renewal.  The DMB shall record all quota decisions, including
  a count of the votes, and a short summary of the justification for the
  increase.

IV. New Business

Chess Club Request

The General Manager and Site Manager recently received a request
from the president of the Chess Club to run a chess server on the
OCF.  After a brief discussion as to what policy allows, the BoD
decided that it could not make a decision without more information.
Richard volunteered to contact the user.

General Meeting Update

Elaine reminded the BoD that the next General Meeting was coming
up in two weeks and asked the BoD to prepare for the meeting.  A
discussion ensued regarding various things that needed to take place
before the meeting.  Richard volunteered to make flyers by Monday
12 October and to look into reserving a room in Wheeler for our
event.
