<P>Present: Sven Berger, Tyler Creviston, Matthew Havens, Jason Kende, Ben Livingston, Kristen Mason. Absent: Maria Gonzalez, Lawrence Rozanski.

<P>The meeting convenes at 6:00 pm PST.

<P>ABSENT MEMBERS

<P>At the official start of the meeting, only Ben, Sven, Jason, and Tyler are present. Jason says that it's probably because Ben sent out a reminder at the end of the 1999 Annual Report email and people probably don't read what he writes. Ben says that no reminder is not an excuse for anyone to be absent.

<P>OFFICER ELECTIONS

<P>Ben nominates himself to be Treasurer. Sven seconds. Sven then nominates himself as Vice-President. Tyler seconds. Ben thirds. The Board then agrees to postpone nominating officers until more members show up.

<P>NEW ISSUE

<P>Ben expresses his desire for the new issue to be out by the end of the month, and tells everyone about his 25% off coupon for Office Depot copying. Sven says he can dig up some good archived submissions. Ben talks about the lack of quality submissions, and says that Oblivion should find people to write articles instead of people with crappy articles finding Oblivion.

<P>OFFICER ELECTIONS, CONTINUED

<P>Kristen and Matthew show up and nominations resume. After a breif discussion, Maria is nominated as Secretary in absentia. Maria is elected as Secretary, 6-0.

<P>Ben nominates himself as Treasurer. No one opposes and he is elected Treasurer, 6-0.

<P>Sven is nominated Vice-President by Ben. Jason nominates himself for the Vice-Presidency. After a brief question-and-answer period, the board decides to take a private vote, 3-0-3. Sven wins.

<P>Sven nominates Ben for President. Jason nominates Maria to "spice things up," but Ben explains that, by Washington State law, Secretary and President can't be the same person. Sven nominates Tyler and Kristen. The race is on, as the candidates make their election speeches. In the end, Ben wins with four votes.

<P>The outcome of the officer elections are as follows: Ben Livingston, President and Treasurer; Sven Berger, Vice-President; Maria Gonzalez, Secretary.
