The minutes of the previous meeting were read and ratified.
New administrators are needed for hal, as half of the current ones graduate this year. Ed Allcutt and Stephen Horne were both accepted as new admins.
We have acquired an SNMP card, do we want to use it to allow remote power on/off?
Decided that it is a good idea.
Backups - we could acquire a tape drive to help keep hal backed up - a 2/4GB one, or 4/8GB. nrs27 will sort this out.
We have a UPS - it will be attached to hal, csg, brockman, and any others needed.
Report from current officers about what the job entails.
Ed was fired for gross incompetency and negligence :)
An amendment to the constitution was suggested by Matt Johnson, to allow nominations via email as well as paper. This was accepted by a vote of 7 to 1, as Stu was playing silly buggers.
It was stated that we needed at least 2 appointees - President and Treasurer at least. Secretary and PR Officer also needed, but could be one of the others.
Stuart Rowan had been nominated for President beforehand.
Matt Johnson and Neill Smith appointed as tellers, to ensure fair voting.
Stuart Rowan was accepted unopposed as the new President
There were no prior nominations for the other posts, so nominations were made during the meeting.
Jeff Snyder and Stephen Horne nominated for treasurer
Chris Share nominated for secretary, and re-elected unopposed.
Mike Cripps nomination for publicity officer, and elected unopposed.
Both Jeff and Stephen made speeches about why they should be treasurer, and the motion was passed to send the video recording on this to the SRCF AGM, where Jeff is also applying to be treasurer.
A secret ballot was held, and both tellers agreed the vote was 5 for Stephen, 2 for Jeff and 1 abstention. Therefore Stephen Horne is the new treasurer.
Stuart thanked the previous committee for their work in setting up THCS, on behalf of all the members.
