Board Meeting Protocol
* Standing Committee Reports - Individual Updates by Assigned Director/Officer presented in the time allotted.
* Open Time is for anyone to bring anything directly to the Board. If the Board agrees it's New Business needing discussion or action, it will be put into New Business and addressed at the end of the meeting.
SPECIAL ITEMS - Until these items are resolved, no other business will be conducted.
- DJ - Board Approved Request that "The first order business will be "Should Member computer usage be "public-friendly"?"
Nick R. would like user-specific accounts to isolate some issues we've had.
General reservations with behavior from a specific user on leaving obscene materials up on the public machines.
Larry recommends an action specifically against the member in question, rather than trying to establish overall guidelines for dealing with obscene material.
Greg feels that the member is being targeted unfairly due to personality, the Board should work with this person to rectify the problems directly before any bans, and that any bans should have a defined time limit.
Donnie proposes to enact a computer ban on the member until the member can come in (as soon as possible, not to be later than the next Board Meeting) to discuss with the Board of Directors the list of issues members have had with this member. Failure to meet beforehand results in a ban; use of the computers results in a ban. Members who have a stake in the issue may submit in writing their griefs ahead of time.
