a different channel for us to hold our meetings.

Old Business:

 SERVER SITUATION -
  Connie Burkett gave us a quick summary/synopsis of the current problem with our
  server being down. She said that a new server had been purchased and would
  hopefully arrive sometime this week. The operating system will then have to be
  installed and tweaked and the last backup copied on to it. Since our last backup
  was on November 24th, any web-pages or files placed on line after that date will
  have to be redone. Depending upon the web-page status, it could be another week,
  although we are hoping it will be sooner.

  Sue had told Connie that as of this afternoon, USGenNet had already received
  $650 in donations from the Census Project. Sandy mentioned that she had been
  told they accept payments through Pay-Pal as well as Credit Cards.

 USGENWEB vs GENEWEB -
  Wayne Duncan apologized for being delinquent with the letter to Geneweb and said
  that he had a draft completed but needed to finalize it before sending it to
  everyone. He said that he would complete the finalization and get it in the mail.

 TEAM PAGE EDITS -
  Connie stated that Sue had been working on the team page e-mail address and had
  completed that task and also thought the state's assignment pages were done as well.

New Business:

 None at this time.

The meeting was adjourned by Wayne Duncan at 9:48 PM EDT to reconvene on January 6,
2003 at 9:00 PM EDT.

Items for next Board Meeting:

1. Server Status Update
2. Letter to Geneweb
