We should probably have an outline for how this should go. :D 17:09:49 <darst> processing payments I can do, yes 17:10:00 <unknown_lamer> Smerdyakov: there is no policy on electing officers afaict 17:10:04 <Smerdyakov> Does anyone else (beside unknown_lamer) want to be president? 17:10:42 <Smerdyakov> Looks like not. 17:10:44 <bipt> +1 for unknown_lamer as president 17:10:53 <Smerdyakov> #info Vote on Clinton Ebadi as president 17:10:54 <Smerdyakov> +1 17:10:55 <unknown_lamer> +1 17:10:56 <bipt> +1 17:10:58 <Kuril> +1 17:10:59 <darst> +1 17:11:07 <Smerdyakov> #info Clinton Ebadi re-elected as president 17:11:26 <unknown_lamer> I think #agreed is better for that (just a nit for the other results to save our secretary effort) 17:11:41 <unknown_lamer> #info Vote on Richard Darst as treasurer 17:11:42 <unknown_lamer> +1 17:11:43 <Smerdyakov> +1 17:11:45 <bipt> +1 17:12:05 <Kuril> +1 17:12:16 <darst> (not voting but I accept) 17:12:19 <unknown_lamer> #agreed Richard Darst elected as treasurer 17:12:28 <Smerdyakov> Ha! Now what kind of message is _that_ supposed to send. :D 17:12:36 <darst> haha 17:12:43 <unknown_lamer> bipt: are you sure you don't want to fight Kuril for secretary? 17:13:21 <Kuril> bipt: I'm not heart-set on it if you'd like to do it :-) 17:13:58 <bipt> Kuril, i wouldn't mind being secretary 17:14:14 <Smerdyakov> We would probably want to get our official documents shipped from Frank to the new secretary, who would then be responsible for their safety. 17:14:17 <bipt> it essentially requires keeping physical records and meeting minutes, iirc? 17:14:22 <unknown_lamer> bipt: yes 17:14:38 <unknown_lamer> and filing one tax form IIRC 17:14:50 <Kuril> bipt: ok go for it. 17:15:06 <unknown_lamer> and, this term only (in a perfect world) making up for the last two terms of bad record keeping 17:15:15 <unknown_lamer> bipt: do you accept the nomination for secretary? 17:15:19 <bipt> yes 17:16:26 <unknown_lamer> #info Vote on Brian (BT) Templeton as secretary 17:16:27 <unknown_lamer> +1 17:16:30 <bipt> +1 17:16:30 <Kuril> +1 17:16:31 <darst> +1 17:16:31 <Smerdyakov> +1 17:16:47 <unknown_lamer> #agreed Brian (BT) Templeton is elected as secretary 17:16:57 <unknown_lamer> Ok, that's out of the way 17:17:17 <Kuril> Are there any unofficial positions? 17:17:18 <unknown_lamer> #topic Transferring Physical Documents from Frank to BT 17:17:21 <unknown_lamer> Kuril: nope 17:17:24 <Kuril> okay 17:17:40 <unknown_lamer> as a board member you already wield the ultimate power ;) 17:17:57 <unknown_lamer> bipt: how do you want to handle transfer of the documents? Since frank is not here and all... 17:18:01 <Smerdyakov> I suggest an e-mail to Frank from BT, Cc'ing board@hcoop.net. 17:18:12 <unknown_lamer> works for me, or I can send it if BT does not want to 17:18:29 <bipt> i'll send it this week 17:18:49 <Smerdyakov> And Kuril's unofficial position can be to make sure it really gets sent? ;D 17:18:59 <unknown_lamer> I'd prefer it be done within 2-3 days (a week out is easy to neglect) 17:19:04 <Kuril> Poker in Chief? :-) 17:20:07 <unknown_lamer> #info An Email will be sent to frank request transfer of HCoop's physical records to BT Templeton this week 17:20:37 <unknown_lamer> or, do we need to vote on that... 17:20:56 <Smerdyakov> Beats me. 17:21:19 <unknown_lamer> I'll go with no 17:21:20 <unknown_lamer> ok 17:21:40 <unknown_lamer> #topic Details of transfer of hcoop.net domain 17:21:56 <unknown_lamer> We should get that done this week since hcoop.net expires may 13th 17:22:01 <bipt> email sent 17:22:01 <unknown_lamer> was there an hcoop.org as well? 17:22:33 <Smerdyakov> There is. 17:22:44 <unknown_lamer> ok, I guess the one thing the board should vote on is the registrar 17:22:59 <unknown_lamer> of the options the members presented I think gandi.net is the least offensive 17:23:07 <bipt> i vote for anyone-but-godaddy 17:23:10 <bipt> gandi is good 17:23:13 <darst> yeah, i've been using gandi 17:23:23 <Smerdyakov> I have little opinion. 17:23:32 <Kuril> I've had great success with dyndns.org but they are a little pricier than most outfits 17:24:18 <unknown_lamer> #info vote: HCoop's domains will be registered using gandi.net 17:24:22 <unknown_lamer> +1 17:24:23 <Smerdyakov> +1 17:24:24 <Kuril> +1 17:24:26 <bipt> +1 17:24:33 <darst> +1 17:24:38 <unknown_lamer> #agreed HCoop's domains will be registered using gandi.net 17:25:27 <unknown_lamer> Smerdyakov: I'll set up an account for hcoop and record the information for the board and admins tomorrow or monday 17:25:32 <unknown_lamer> Smerdyakov: and then we can get this done! 17:25:49 <unknown_lamer> so, I guess that was all that was on the agenda 17:25:50 <Smerdyakov> unknown_lamer, OK. I won't be doing anything until I receive further instructions from you. 17:26:05 <unknown_lamer> I forgot to add one other item, which was dealing with the bank stuff since at the least meeting we agreed to deal with it today 17:26:28 <Smerdyakov> I'm going to poke Wells Fargo about getting darst full access. 17:27:09 <unknown_lamer> #topic Transfer of Bank Information from Adam Chlipala to Richard Darst 17:27:32 <unknown_lamer> I guess this is mostly between the two of you 17:27:41 <darst> yeah 17:27:47 <darst> I can send you personal details 17:27:52 <unknown_lamer> but, naturally, anything should be CCed to the board &c 17:27:59 <Smerdyakov> darst, yeah, an e-mail with the info you would expect the bank to want would be good. 17:28:02 <unknown_lamer> except for personal/financial info only the treasurer should have 17:28:33 <unknown_lamer> #info darst and Smerdyakov will coordinate via email to give darst access to our Wells Fargo account 17:28:35 <darst> Smerdyakov: would that include my personal tax-ids ? 17:29:01 <Smerdyakov> darst, possible. You can hold off on sensitive stuff until I figure out what's needed, and then we can communicate that over AFS. 17:29:45 <unknown_lamer> heh, I just noticed ... frank *never* had write permissions to the board area 17:31:00 <unknown_lamer> bipt: I have granted you permissions to ~hcoop/board 17:31:13 <unknown_lamer> Ok, was there anything else anyone wanted to bring up before we end the meeting? 17:31:21 <darst> hm, I was thinking something 17:31:45 <bipt> unknown_lamer, is there a procedure for making changes to that? 17:31:58 <Smerdyakov> Version control would be nice. 17:32:01 <darst> we had approved expiring nion's account, correct (it will run out of balance at the next payment cycle) 17:32:08 <unknown_lamer> yes 17:32:18 <unknown_lamer> I paid for it last year 17:33:00 <unknown_lamer> bipt: nope, ntk just threw up static html files then neglected it then frank never touched it so you can do what you want 17:33:40 <unknown_lamer> bipt: the big thing for now is to edit the index to show the current board + election results, I can help with acquiring and editing old meeting minutes (I should have local logs of all meetings not already up) 17:34:45 <unknown_lamer> #topic Etc 17:35:05 <unknown_lamer> darst: were you just asking whether it was ok to close nion's account? 17:35:23 <darst> just confirming that we didn't want to extend it or anything 17:35:48 <unknown_lamer> his only non-expired domain is not hosted on hcoop AFAIK 17:36:03 <darst> I personally wouldn't mind hosting indefinitely 17:36:27 <unknown_lamer> there is no way for anyone to access his stuff on hcoop though 17:36:32 <darst> but it was voted, so, all done 17:36:37 <unknown_lamer> I think Herb either got what he needed or gave up and fixed nion' 17:36:41 <unknown_lamer> s father's paypal &c manually 17:37:10 <unknown_lamer> if anyone notices we'll have the volume around for another six months so... shutting the account won't cause anything irreversible 17:37:10 <bipt> unknown_lamer, some of his stuff is accessible in afs space 17:37:59 <unknown_lamer> I think for now destroy-user is the way to go unless someone else wants to donate balance to his account 17:38:20 <unknown_lamer> *if* that happens however I think mail delivery really needs t o be shut off for the account 17:39:15 <unknown_lamer> ok, were there any other topics that should be brought up in the context of the meeting, or can we endmeeting? 17:39:18 * darst still will do the terms of service page 17:39:41 * darst is done 17:39:52 <darst> (with business for this meeting) 17:39:56 <bipt> is anyone else interested in transferring our accounts to the National Cooperative Bank? if so i can send them an email 17:39:59 <Kuril> I don't have any additional topics 17:40:01 <Smerdyakov> darst, I'll be blocked waiting for your non-sensitive personal info, to use in contacting Wells Fargo. 17:40:29 <unknown_lamer> bipt: I think we should transfer wells fargo to rkd and *then* deal with that at the next meeting 17:40:37 <unknown_lamer> bipt: or via board@ 17:40:44 <darst> Smerdyakov: name, phone, address, what else ? 17:40:50 <bipt> unknown_lamer, right 17:40:57 <Smerdyakov> darst, that sounds like a good start! :) 17:41:34 <bipt> i didn't mean an immediate change 17:42:09 <unknown_lamer> bipt: since you are on the board if you are interested in pursuing that feel free to poke around 17:42:33 <Smerdyakov> jhitz is back for an encore! 17:42:51 <Smerdyakov> unknown_lamer, is the meeting ended yet in the bot's eyes? 17:42:54 <unknown_lamer> jhitz: join hcoop and you can run ERC in screen and not bounce all the time 17:42:55 <jhitz> hrm? 17:42:56 <unknown_lamer> Smerdyakov: nope 17:42:57 <jhitz> O: 17:43:07 <unknown_lamer> Smerdyakov: but I can do that now 17:43:17 <unknown_lamer> I thought chatting further with darst was meeting material 17:43:41 <Smerdyakov> My feeling is that we're done. 17:43:47 <unknown_lamer> ok 17:43:50 <unknown_lamer> #endmeeting
