Old Business:

   The Volunteer and Elected Agreements:

     Sue said that she had received no suggestions from the SC's in regards
     to the volunteer agreement and therefore felt that it was up to us.
     Ellen had sent out a draft from the committee to Sue and April and now
     Wayne for comments. Wayne felt that a sentence or clause stating that
     any product from any research or activity conducted for the project
     remains the property of the project should be added to the agreement.
     This agreement is not for volunteers, only membership of the Board and
     File Managers, SC's, etceteras.

     It was felt that the agreement for the appointed positions would be
     similar and that we could add a statement listing things like the
     master database, e-mail lists, passwords, domain names, etceteras,
     including anything that they might develop while they are in the
     position.

     Ellen will work on the text and present it at the July 24, 2001
     meeting.

   SC Recruits:
     It was decided that since we have not yet been accepted as members of
     the USGW by their Advisory Board and we are merely a link at this time
     that it would be inadvisable to have any SCs that would be working for
     both projects at the same time.

     Wayne is waiting on a response from another potential SC recruit. Sue
     mentioned that we should all try to think of people we already know
     that would make good SC's.

   Service Mark:.
     It was agreed to amend the disclaimer as suggested and since Ron is
     the registered agent, have him send the response. Wayne is to call our
     attorney and find out exactly what is needed from us.

     It was mentioned that it might not hurt to let the Advisory Board know
     that the current filing by Linda Lewis may possibly suspend our filing
     as well as their own.

   Project Mailing Lists:
     Discussion about the ownership of the mailing lists was held and it
     was decideded that whenever a new project coordinator took office, the
     lists will auto charge to him/her. The past project coordinator would
     only need to send the passwords, but transistion would be much easier.
     It was also agreed that more than one person inside the project have
     the passwords incase something catastrophic happened to the primary
     individual.

Since Sue had to leave and there was no longer a quorum, the meeting was
adjourned by Wayne Duncan at 21:00 EDT to reconvene on July 24, 2001 at
8:00 PM
