NOTES

OASIS Operational Work - update - Jon
The Board decided to take the next step in talking with Martha Gross for providing operations management assistance (specifically for: contracts and financials) to determine her level of interest in contracting, on a part-time basis, to provide these services. Laura to talk with Martha on Monday and to report back to Board on cost of services, etc.

OASIS IT Infrastructure - Norbert
The Board decided to take the next step in discussing the possibility of contracting with or hiring CIO. CIO will apply for the position of Webmaster/Web Systems Administrator and the Board is open to considering additional proposals that CIO might have regarding the responsibilities of that position. Bill, Norbert and Eric will serve as the team responsible for interviewing.

We didn't get to this.

Query #1: We'd like to change the start time of the biweekly conference call to 9:30 AM PST (12:30 EST). Jon, Simon, Eric, Norbert, Laura and Alan are OK w/the change. We need to hear from Mary, Bob and Bill.  (NOTE: day remains the same (Monday) and our next call is scheduled for 3 April).

Query #2: We need to know who plans to attend the Board meeting in Bellevue on 18-19 April, so that we can determine whether we will have quorum. Simon, Bill and Norbert will attend. Jon will not be able to attend. We need confirmation from Mary, Bob, Eric, and Alan. Please respond ASAP.

Action Item:
I need a motion and a 2nd -- and then a vote -- on leasing additional office space. For details please see my message of 20 March entitled "NOTES from OASIS BoD Conference Call - Monday 20 March."  Please note that if we plan to have additional staff in the office, even on a part time basis, we needthe additional space.
