Board of Directors electronic voting beginning June 10, 2013 All board members included in request for votes by email. Each motion required agreement from majority of board members (4 out of 7) to pass.

Directors who participated: Dara Adib (daradib) Nader Morshed (morshed) Nicole Fronda (nfronda) Paulina Ramos (paulinar) Raphael Townshend (raphtown) Sanjay Krishnan (sanjayk) Timothy Zhu (tzhu)

Dara - Allocations are limits on maximum spending, not estimates.

Dara - (1) Motion to increase allocation for gigabit managed switches from $700 to $3,000. TechSoup qualification did not go through so we will have to pay full price for a gigabit managed switch.

Dara: yes Nader: yes Nicole: yes Paulina: yes Raphael: yes Sanjay: yes Timothy: yes

Dara - (2) Motion to increase allocation for hypervisor server from $3,000 to $6,000. We have more funds because the chairs purchase is not happening this year. I don't think a cheap server is cost-effective for us because of the overhead of the chassis, motherboard, power supplies, etc. Although the hypervisor is currently intended for development ("hoser") virtual machines, it may be repurposed later for production (likewise, a production server may become development). This would give us funds for a decent RAID controller (like our other servers) and a better processor.

Dara: yes Nader: yes Nicole: yes Paulina: yes Raphael: yes Sanjay: yes Timothy: yes

Dara - (3) Motion to allocate $700 for a network interface to our existing UPS.

Dara: yes Nader: yes Nicole: yes Paulina: yes Raphael: yes Sanjay: yes Timothy: yes

Dara - (4) Motion to allocate $650 for an additional Opteron 6272 processor in pandemic hypervisor/disk array.

Dara: yes Nader: yes Nicole: yes Paulina: yes Raphael: yes Sanjay: yes Timothy: yes

Dara - (5) Motion to allocate $100 for 10 wired optical mice. We already bought 5 x Logitech M100, we would buy 10 more to keep the lab consistent.

Dara: yes Nader: no Nicole: yes Paulina: yes Raphael: yes Sanjay: yes Timothy: yes

All five motions passed.
