| As a result of the recent discussions on LUGNET I would like to propose a couple of other issues for discussion. 1. I think we should decide on what constitutes a voting member (After we have resolved the Age rule under the current rules). 2. I (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
