ROCKNET MEETING MINUTES December 11, 1997 The meeting was called to order by Bob Skinner at 7:41 p.m. In attendance were Karla Breitbach, Bob Ekman, Randy Gentry, Stan Klein, Gail Wisan Muren, Barbara Skinner, Bob Skinner, Helen Triolo, and Thomas E. Thomas. The minutes of the November 12, 1997, meeting were approved as published on the Internet. A. Randy Gentry's letter of resignation from the Board was read into the record. The group unanimously commended Randy for his service to RockNet. Bob Skinner indicated that there is a need to pick up on Randy's work in grant and funding research, perhaps with a team working on it, but RockNet needs to obtain its tax exempt status before this can be pursued aggressively. B. Bob Skinner reported that John Herman was working with Paul Glasgow on RockNet's tax exempt status. C. Karla Breitbach reported on the statistics of hits, etc., on RockNet's Web page. She said she was checking Comments @ RockNet.Org on a daily basis and will direct questions re linking, etc., to Bob Ekman. Karla said she had received no feedback from the Board on the list of various queries for which statistics can be provided. D. Discussion of RockNet calendar - Karla will provide Helen Triolo with City dates and Helen will update the calendar on Fridays. There will be two calendars running - RockNet's and the City's, perhaps with framing. E. Anyone wanting an e-mail address should forward a request to Karla. F. Discussion re community's awareness of RockNet: brochure should be updated, with deletion of Bob Skinner's name and substitution of "Comments @ RockNet.Org." G. Bob Ekman will call a meeting on Web page/content for the first week in January '98. H. Stan Klein revisited discussion held during November meeting about dynamic updating of Web pages; group again decided that updating cannot be run by anyone outside of RockNet due to operational security issues and the question of manpower involved in updating procedures. Group agreed RockNet's best role is in a consulting capacity to help people help themselves with their Web pages. Meeting adjourned at 8:58.
