All,
First, I apologize for the cross post. Second, I would be happy to
volunteer for the board. Although I haven't been able to make it to some
of the meetings this summer due to work requirements, I am enthusiastic
about Linux and Open Source software, and I believe that with ~10 years
university / corporate experience, I could add value to NNCS. I'm not
afraid to speak up, and generally landed in leadership roles in most of
the jobs I have held.

I think the group had a good idea at the last rlug meeting. - To get
everyone together who is interested to formerly discuss organizing this
group. I'd suggest sometime before the next rlug meeting.

What kind of horsepower are we looking for? - I could probably commender
a Dell Optiplex GX1 400Mhz PII / 512KB L2 Cache, 128MB SDRAM, 9GB EIDE
Disk drive, integrated 3Com NIC for NNCS exclusive use. - Not the
biggest box, but it might suffice.

A couple comments on the draft by-laws:
#
ARTICLE 3
DIRECTORS
SECTION 1. NUMBER
The corporation shall have 9 directors and collectively they shall be
known as the Board of Directors.
#
9 directors seems like a lot for our group, what does everyone thing
about 7?
I think we should review the Draft Bylaws to see what makes sense for
our specific circumstances. For example, should we use the Special
Interest Group provision, make the NNCS the parent organization, and
rlug and rawug each be a SIG underneath that?
#
ARTICLE 12
SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS
SECTION 1. FORMATION
Any member may propose a Special Interest Group (SIG), subject to the
following conditions:
* A proposal shall be made in writing or electronic form which
defines the purpose of the SIG.
* There are at least three members who have expressed interest in
the subject of the SIG and are willing to participate in it.
* One of those members is willing to coordinate the SIG.
* The proposal is brought to and approved by the President.
The SIG may commence operation after the President appoints the initial
coordinator.

I have time to devote to the 501c3 paperwork.
I welcome any comments / suggestions.
