Item 70. Minutes of the Special Board of Directors Meeting of August 1, 1993 John H. Remmers (remmers) Tue, Aug 10, 1993 (10:35). 26 lines, 24 responses. A special meeting of the Board was held on Sunday, August 1 to discuss matters that require decision in the near future: Grex move, phone service, possible internet connection. Board members present: Valerie Mates (popcorn) [chair], Dan Romanchik (danr) [treasurer], John Remmers (remmers) [secretary], STeve Andre (steve), Marc Unangst (mju). Absent: Meg Geddes (meg), Mike Smerza (morel). Others attending included Glenda Andre (glenda), Misti Anslin (mta), Andrew Lanagan (drew). (The secretary probably missed a person or two; others please feel free to fill in any other attendees.) The secretary missed the first hour of the meeting, but as he understands it, no actions were taken. As new business, Marc brought up copyright issues involved in carrying the alt.pictures.* newsgroups. Apparently, copyrighted material is posted regularly to these groups without permission. The concensus was to stop carrying these groups immediately, in accordance with Grex policy prohibiting illegal postings. It was agreed to hold a Board meeting later in the week (Wednesday or Thursday) to continue discussion of issues not resolved at this meeting. Respectfully submitted, John Remmers, secretary
