Bank account move to BB&T
Previous motion to move ALU's bank account to BB&T carries unanimously.

Report on ALU Wiki
Daniel Herring reported that he has no reply yet
from Drew Crampsie, but he hasn't pestered him yet.

Previous motion to adopt DNS for cliki.org:
Discussion of issues about Franz's ownership of various ALU website
offerings.  Most of the concern was of Franz NOT easily relinquishing
www.lisp.org.  D. Herring reminded the board that the motion only
concerns the covering of www.cliki.org; ALU can "own" this by paying
the fees to a registrar.  R. Johnson and D. Herring would create an
account to fulfill the purchase of the cliki.org DNS costs, and the
ALU will own that domain (but the actual host site is controlled
somewhere by Drew Crampsie.)  There seemed to be consensus to agree
with D. Herring's statement.

Website/Webmaestra:
T. Daly discussed a contrast that he and Luann found between
Mathematica vs. SAGE sites, namely glossy style vs. a technical
information site.  (e.g. Lisp savvy people, vs. marketers.)  Action
item for T. Daly: to redirect discussion to the mailing list
redesign (at) alu.org.

Lisp Repositories:
There was some discussion of ALU support for Lisp repositories.  ALU
Librarian D. Herring and JonL White both suggested that building and
maintaining such a repository it not likely within the ALU's
capabilities; it would be preferable to link to other sites, and
disseminate information about existing repositories.  LAIR was also
discussed in some detail.

J. Jones moved to adjourn.  D. Rettig seconded.  The motion passes.

The meeting adjourned at 23:20 UTC.

These minutes were generated from notes taken by JonL White.  The
Secretary expresses his appreciation for them.
