whiz asks, "Shall we start?" 
Dax nods. 
Lao-Tzu will be being fairly quiet as the demands of food preparation are made on him, but I don't have much to say here anyways. 
whiz says, "OK, I'm opening this directors' meeting for MOO Canada. It is August 17, 1999, and the time is 8:08." 
whiz says, "We need a secretary." 
whiz says, "(For the meeting itself, not for the board.)" 
Lao-Tzu points at you. 
Myra says, "only if you'll chase her around the desk" 
Dax says, "I don't want to be an official, as my presence is unreliable 50 weeks of the year." 
whiz says, "This is just to prepare minutes of the meeting afterwards. The transcript doesn't provide minutes." 
Dax says, "Oh, I'll take that." 
whiz says, "Does everyone agree? I do." 
Dax says, "As long as the job ends before Thursday the 25th. :)" 
whiz says, "Yes, it ends in 5 minutes." 
Myra agrees. 
Raptor nods. 
whiz says, "OK, Dax is the secretary for this meeting. So there's one thing on the agenda: the board of directors needs to approve an initial set of members for MOO Canada." 
whiz asks, "Does everyone approve of this agenda?" 
Myra asks, "ok.. how do we go about this?" 
Myra asks, "and how many members can we invite?" 
Raptor asks, "Okay, I'm a little foggy. What do the members do?" 
whiz says, "First we should approve the agenda." 
Dax has disconnected. 
Raptor says, "Okay, I approve." 
Dax has connected. 
Dax asks, "What the heck?" 
whiz [to Dax]: Pbbt. 
Myra grins. 
Dax asks, "Was that just me?" 
whiz [to Dax]: Did someone pick up the phone? ;) 
The shadows morph into the nonexistant form of Cyberspeed. 
Lao-Tzu nods at Dax. 
BenC knocks. 
whiz says, "Yes, that was just you." 
Dax says, "Oh well. Thank goodness we have a transcript." 
whiz assumes that no one has issues with the agenda. 
Myra says, "No issues.. just the questions above." 
Raptor says to Lao-Tzu, "Thanks." 
BenC decides he joined at a bad time and starts to leave. 
Dax says, "We should also add a couple of items" 
JS appears out of thin air. 
whiz [to Dax]: For the director's meeting? 
Dax says, "(stick around if you are interested, benc)" 
whiz asks, "Or the members' meeting?" 
BenC [to Dax]: I will but I'm lost. :> 
Myra says, "oops" 
JS waves. 
Dax asks, "We should also appoint a VP a sec and a treasurer, no?" 
JS nods at Dax. 
Lao-Tzu nods at Dax. 
Myra asks, "and what are the duties?" 
whiz says, "Hmm. We don't have to do that right now." 
whiz says, "We could, though." 
JS says to Myra, "The treasurer handles $; the Secretary takes minutes. They can be combined & often are." 
Dax says, "No, but if we don't, we can't for another 3, possibly six days." 
Myra [to JS]: I knew that. 
Lao-Tzu says, "The VP does the president's job when he's absent." 
Myra says, "what will the Pres do, silly? In this situation specifically." 
JS says to Myra, "Preside." 
whiz [to Dax]: Correct. 
Dax asks, "But firstly, the members. What structure do we want?" 
whiz says, "Ok, the amended agenda is as follows: 1. appoint members; 2. appoint officers." 
whiz asks, "Any objections?" 
Dax says, "officers not including prez." 
whiz says, "Yes." 
Dax nods. 
whiz says, "Ok, let's start with appointment of members." 
whiz says, "The members elect the board of directors and president." 
JS says to whiz, "At an AGM, yes." 
JS says to whiz, "Not now, though." 
Lao-Tzu winks, "So be sure not to appoint members that will through the directors out. ;)" 
JS says to whiz, "You've got up to a year with the initial slate." 
Lao-Tzu says, "Er, throw. pooh." 
JS says to Lao-Tzu, "Methinks that said members would quickly find their access to moo.ca severely curtailed. <G>" 
Lao-Tzu says to JS, "I would think so." 
whiz says, "Any person can be a member." 
Myra asks, "do we invite?" 
Myra says, "or do we put in an open call.." 
Lao-Tzu says to whiz, "Only physical people can be. ;)" 
whiz [to Lao-Tzu]: Well, yes. 
Dax asks, "Do we want: 1: only wizzen, 2: wizzen + significant others, 3 players(), 4: something else?" 
JS says to Dax, "3 is definitely out." 
whiz says, "However, in practice, we want the members to be (2), so that we don't get overthrown." 
Lao-Tzu says, "Not 3." 
Lao-Tzu says, "2." 
Myra says, "Honestly.. I think players should be invited." 
Myra asks, "don't we want non-wizzen input?" 
Raptor nominates JS, for one. 
JS says to Myra, "Then you can be kicked out by 3 of them." 
Myra [to JS]: so? 
JS says to Myra, "Read the bylaws. The structure is very hijackable." 
Myra votes on Benc, Jay 
Garak (bored) appears out of thin air. 
BenC partially agrees with Myra but also with Dax. 
BenC notes he can't be a member at the moment. (BenC < 18) 
Lao-Tzu says, "I think we can have non-wizzen input without them having any power." 
whiz says, "So 3 members can cause the server to be donated to themselves." 
JS says to Myra, "What that means is that, with the correct procedure, any three members can hijack the board, install themselves, and legally do whatever they want with the MOO." 
Garak (bored) disappears suddenly for parts unknown... 
whiz [to BenC]: Any person can be a member. 
JS says to BenC, "You just can't be a director." 
Myra asks, "perhaps we fix the bylaws then?" 
Garak (bored) appears out of thin air. 
JS asks of Myra, "You want to pay the 250$?"
