<p><b>BYLAW CHANGES</b></p>

<p>The board discussed a number of bylaw changes. Bylaw changes
require approval by 3/4 of the Board. After some discussion on each
issue, the following motions were made:</p>

<ul>
<li>Ben motioned that Article II, Section 4 be amended, replacing the
word "seven" with the word "three." Motion passed 6-0. Meetings now
only require three days notice.

<li>Ben motioned that Article III, Section 6 be amended, replacing the
word "will" with the word "may." Motioned passed 6-0. The Board "may"
vote to fill a vacancy now.

<li>Ben motioned that Article IV, Section 1 be amended, striking the
last sentence and inserting "Any two or more offices may be held by
the same person with the exception that whoever holds the office of
president may not hold the office of secretary." Ben felt the original
sentence was hard to understand and this was a better way to phrase
it. Motion passed 6-0.

<li>Ben motioned that "Article IV, Section 3 of our bylaws be amended,
striking the complete section and inserting "Election of Officers. At
the first meeting of the year, the Board of Directors shall elect
 officers. Only Board members may run for office." Ben said the current
bylaws regarding officer elections made no sense at all. Motion passed 6-0.
</ul>

<p><b>WEBSITE NEWS EDITOR POLICY</b></p>

<p>Luke explained that around 5 people have asked to help post news
to the site and felt we should discuss how to decide who can be a news
editor. The board came to a consensus that anyone interested in being
an editor should be approved to post news while only a few editors
would be able to delete or modify data. This allows for access to our
system by individuals we may not necessarily know without the worry
that they'll trash our site.</p>

<p><b>ACTION ITEM:</b> Luke will add the ability to grant different
permisssions to different users.</p>

<p><b>Collaborative Network</b></p>

<p>Luke has been working on software for schools to communicate and
collaborate better. It has stuff to do portal management, calendaring,
forums/message boards, journaling and has hooks to add other features
in the future. Ben asked if we would be able to implement this
software in a useful manner. Luke said we could, though it wouldn't be
an overnight change. The board came to a consensus that this sounded 
great -- almost as great as Luke himself.</p>

<p><b>Adjournment</b></p>

<p>Items 5 and six on the agenda were tabled and the meeting adjourned
at 5:05 p.m. pacific time.</p>
