MINUTES OF ROCKVILLE COMMUNITY NETWORK MEETING
                   March 19, 1997

     The meeting was called to order by Bob
Skinner at 7:35 p.m.  In attendance were Bob
Ekman, John Herman, Stan Klein, David Mays, Roald
Schrack, Barbara Skinner, Bob Skinner, and Thomas
E. Thomas.  Also present was Chris Medley.

     Minutes of the February 13, 1997, meeting
were read and approved.

A.   Roald Schrack asked for Rocknet volunteers to
     participate as part of the technology action
     team at the Rockville Vision Action Fair on
     April 12 and 13 at City Hall, with an eye to
     recruiting visitors at the Fair for both the
     Vision program and Rocknet.  Bob Ekman, John
     Herman, and Bob Skinner volunteered.

B.   Bob Skinner reported on his meeting with City
     Attorney Paul Glasgow with regard to
     organizational requirements.  Two things
     needed:  a charter, which Mr. Glasgow will
     prepare; and a list of names, addresses, and
     telephone numbers of the members of Rocknet's
     Board of Directors.  Because of a perception
     of conflict of interest, no City Council
     members should be on the Board.  Board must
     be comprised of at least five voting members.

     Discussion resulted in the following:

     1.   Glennon Harrison and Bob Dorsey to be ex
          officio members of Board of Directors;

          members of Board (nominated by Roald
