Old Business:

John, W1JMA, reported on the status of CSMA incorporation.  Papers have
been filed with the State and a Federal Tax ID number has been requested.
Once the State and Federal numbers are obtained the 501c3 application will
be filed.

Dana was not able to connect with Mark Casey the FC since the last meeting.
He hopes to achieve this task soon. After this meeting a small workgroup
will cleanse the current repeater database and forward a copy to Mark and
the ARRL.  Most members present have some minor changes to be made to the
official database.

John, W1AN agreed to funnel and respond to all emails sent him via our CSMA
website.  Dana will be responsible for getting the mail from the Post
Office once he acquires a key.  Paul, N1TUP will be the official contact
person for the organization.

A lengthy discussion was had on the amount of work that the frequency
coordinator is responsible for.  James, KE1AI has offered to be the 440
Coordinator.  The issue of help for the Frequency Coordinator will be
discussed at our next meeting.  It is the intent that the next meeting be
held close to the FC's qth.  Dana will organize this action.

New Business:

Dana and Rod presented the first draft of the coordination and interference
policy and procedures.  Both searched various coordination web sites and
compiled the best of all documents.  Rod will ask permission from SERA for
use of its process.  Rod discussed the various issues around the document.
It has been suggested that the document be circulated by email and discussed
in detail at the next meeting.  This will give all a chance to review the
document in detail.  Dana also provided a band plan for 2m and 220.  These
documents will also be discussed at our next meeting.  Comments about the
coordination process can be emailed to Rod at laner1@cox.net.  

There was a brief discussion about the UNYREPCO email received by club
official's hours after our last meeting.  Paul discussed a conversation he
had with the leader of the NFCC to the general membership present.  CSMA is
working on its requirements to be a member of NFCC.

No other business being brought forth, the meeting was closed at 11:15 am.
