The 900 MHz band plan as adopted by the CSMA board was distributed to neighboring
coordination bodies for comment and adoption. It is reported that all neighboring
coordination bodies will have a conference sometime in January.  More details to
be reported when a date and location are announced.  CSMA representatives plan on
attending this conference.

CSMA Frequency Coordinator has been working on updating the database with the
Northeast Repeater Directory.  All changes should be sent to Dana Underhill, KB1AEV
for inclusion in this regional database.  The website is nerepeaters.com.

Paul and Dana discussed the issue regarding Metrocor's 2 meter pair allocation to
emitters.  The coordination issues will be discussed between CSMA and Metrocor.

Paul Gibson presented a prototype of a certificate to be issued with the
Coordination information for each emitter properly coordinated by CSMA.  Discussion
ensued and additional changes will be made to the certificate and presented at the
next meeting.  It is the intent to take all existing coordinated repeaters from the
TSARC days and send these emitter information to the neighboring coordinators and
then issue their certificate.

The Frequency Coordinator discussed the 6 meter band plan to be developed in January.
A separate technical meeting will be needed to complete this task.  Developmental
work is being done for this meeting at this time.

Paul Gibson discussed the status of NFCC.  The NFCC is currently not a functioning
organization.  Some are trying to revive this oversight body.  The group discussed
the value and role of NFCC and the need for CSMA's involvement in such an organization.

Nominations for the two director at large positions were made.  Bruce Marcus and
John Spigel were nominated for the 2 year terms.  Nominations were closed.  Floor
nominations can be made at the next meeting before the vote.

CSMA delivered requested information to the FCC regarding the GNARC issue.  Dana
updated the group on the events leading to this FCC action.

No other business being discussed the meeting was closed at 12:30 pm.  The next
