A quorum being present the meeting was called to order by Wayne Duncan.

Wayne discussed the format of meetings in accordance with Robert's Rules of
Order (RoR).

Ron Eason announced that the notice for GenTech was sent to the various
mail lists. Connie Burkett asked if any additions or corrections were
needed for the brochure files previously sent to each board member. A
question was asked about having USGenNet on the brochure as it is part of
our Logo. All Board members present agreed that USGenNet should remain on
the brochure as this is where our files are housed and USGenNet is part of
our official Logo.

Wayne Duncan discussed the proposed press release that was previously sent
to all Board members. Minor changes had been made based on feedback from
Board members. A motion was made and seconded to send the press release to
mail lists on RootsWeb, USGenNet and any other genealogy list possible. The
Motion was assigned number 2001-01. The motion carried unanimously. Wayne
Duncan will send the press release after final e-mail approval is received
from Board members.

Wayne Duncan received approval from the Board to mail out a press release
concerning Marsha Thompson, a new file manager in training. Marsha Thompson
has agreed to a press release.

Minutes of meetings were addressed. The Board agreed that a log of the
meeting would be sent to any Board member not present at the meeting. The
minutes will then be produced and sent to each Board Member prior to the
next meeting. After the minutes are accepted the minutes will be posted to
the internet.

Ron Eason discussed difficulties posting to various mailing list. He
provided examples of problems that could cause a message to bounce.

A brief discussion was held about the problems with the FTP site and
displaying the census text files. This will be further discussed at
the next Board Meeting.

The meeting was adjourned.
