Grex Board of Directors Meeting. Tuesday, July 25, 2006

Board Members in attendance: Mark Conger, Lynne Fremont, Joe Gelinas, 
Larry Kestenbaum, John Remmers, and Janc Wolter. 

Non Board Members in attendance: Steve Andre (by phone), Jim Diegart, 
Sindi Keesan, and Mary Remmers.

TREASURERS REPORT:
In June we took in $271.18 and spent $150. In July we took in $144 and 
spent $150. We have 51 members and 41 paid up with the others being in 
a grace period. Mark allows people to maintain memberships in a grace 
period, especially long term members. 

STAFF REPORT:
Remmers installed an IRC client called IRCII. Only members can connect. 
It uses a wrapper. Steve made some changes to the kernel. Grex has been 
more stable. We are still having users break in. 

Grex is currently listed on two spam systems which is an improvement 
from what it was before. Steve is working on getting us off of those 
systems. Turning off mail to newusers has significantly decreased the 
amount of spam sent from Grex. There was one user recently (lullo) who 
was caught sending spam. The user attempted to send 110,000 pieces of 
mail but only 6000 were actually sent. We need to come up with a policy 
for giving new users email.  The current policy is that staff will give 
newusers email on request. Some suggestions for policy:
1.      Limit outbound email to some amount for newusers (e.g 5-20 
outbound emails per day)
2.      Continue with the status quo of keeping email turned off for 
newusers and grant it only by request but with a change to the text of 
the newuser program reflecting this policy
3.      Grant email to members and former members so that email would 
still be mostly free. A person could become a member for one month for 
$6 and then allow membership to lapse but still have outbound email 
privileges

There was discussion where the board decided that we should move in the 
direction of granting everyone email but with limits on outgoing email 
of perhaps five per day at first and then an increased limit after a 
period of time. 

MOTION by Mark Conger: We will continue with the present email policy 
until such time as we can implement a policy where users are subject to 
an adjustable email per day limit. Seconded by Lynne Fremont. Passed 
unanimously.

The modems are still not answering sometimes. They are working now 
though. 

OLD BUSINESS:

Lynne wants to extend the deadline of the web contest.

MOTION by Mark Conger to give Lynne Fremont authority over web contest. 
John seconds. Passes (all in favor, Lynne abstains)

Set date for next meeting:
Tuesday Sept 26th at 8p at John Remmers s House

NEW BUSINESS:
Nharmon would like permission to submit the grex logo to wikipedia

MOTION by Mark Conger to allow grex s logo to be used on wikipedia. Joe 
Gelinas seconds. Passed unanimously

Keesan would like a script that would set up Spam Assassin for new 
users. Jan says that Spam Assassin takes up a lot of resources so if we 
set it up for all users, we would need to make it more efficient. This 
would be a good project for someone to work on.  Someone  does not 
necessarily need to have root access to work on that issue so anyone 
who wants to work on Spam Assassin is welcome to work on it even if 
they are not officially staff. 

Meeting adjourned 8:36p
