+
+
+* Add staff to burners group.
+	-- Only office staff (people who do stuff) on burners list
+  	-- No objections from executives
+
+* We still need a webmaster, imapd
+	-- Action Item: Mike
+		--Check for pop delivery services (Like Grocery Gateway)
+		so that we can replace imapd with an automated cronjob
+		-- If this gets implemented, we must make sure that 
+		someone is around to receive the pop whenever it is 
+		delivered. 
+
+* Budgets
+    	Action Item: Simon
+		-- Make sure execs receive a copy of the proposed budget
+	Action Item: Mark

+		
+*Changes in the MathSoc Clubs Policy
+	Action Item: Jim and Stefanus
+		--Bring thus up with MathSoc
+		--Might be good to talk to Bioinformatics about this, as 
+		they have science faculty members to take care of as well. 
+	--Major issue: People who revoke their Mathsoc fees can still be
+	voting 	members
+	--We want it so that only people who have paid dues to Mathsoc 
+	can vote.
+	--Execs should not take back fees, as that is bad form.
+	--All execs unanimously agreed with this proposal
+
+*Confirming that we have free printing and photocopying
+	Action Item: Mark
+		--Does Faculty of Math billing code apply to CSC 
+		(as Faculty of Math department?)
+		-- Procedures manual has a billing code, but it should 
+		be confirmed.
+		-- Ask MUO, then Shirley after that.
+	Action Item: Simon
+		--Apparently there is a special Watcard that provides 
+		free printing from MFCF
+		--We do not know what account it is mapped to, 
+		or the password.
+
+* Getting csc_disk, csc, csc_ceo accounts on undergrad to work again.
+	Action Item: Phil
+		-- Get csc-disk back up for student use.
+		-- What group permissions do we need?
+		-- CSC-Disk should be used as a repository for custom 
+		window managers, Mozilla, etc... (selling factor for
+		CSC accounts)
+		-- We should also have an announcement (MOTD, perhaps?) 
+		that we are providing and supporting this software.
+			--Consider: Having university-wide accessible 
+			binaries might be a pain, as different machines
+			might require different compilations.
+		-- CSC-Disk is full of user data. Should that be blown away?
+
+*Getting locker #7 from MathSoc (Don't we already have lockers 788 and 
+789?)

+			--Installing Electronic Lock (asap)
+				--According to Faculty of Math, 
+				we shouldn't need keys.
+				--Currently, we still need keys
+				--It is kosher to install Electronic lock

+				compared to key-control.		
+				--Might be long term project.
+				--Will green men do it?

+			--Cork-board
