Mark stated that he had sent out to the membership the "old" database. The
most recent database has all the changes known to Mark and will be submitted
to the ARRL for inclusion in the repeater directory.  In the future any
changes should be directed to Mark at the above email address.

Mark will give Dana a key to the PO box in Somers.  CSMA does not and will
not accept registered mail as a matter of policy.

A lengthy discussion and debate was had over several changes to the
approved Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.  The most significant was 
the
creation of a board seat for the Frequency Coordination Director.  Mark
Casey was nominated for this seat.  No other nominations were made.  Mark
was elected.  Dana will incorporate the various changes and circulate a
revised copy of the document.  All changes were approved by the membership
present.

The policy committee that is working on coordination policy and procedures
will include Mark Casey.  This committee is to report back at the April
meeting.  The goal is to approve needed policies by the June Meeting.

New Business:

James, KE1AI made a motion that the board of directors approves all
coordination.  This motion was seconded.  There was some discussion.  A
motion was made and accepted to table this issue until the Policy Committee
finished its work this spring.

There was a short recess.  The meeting resumed and a motion was made to
adjourn.  The meeting closed at 11:10 am.  The next meeting will be at 10am
