- Key things we want to figure out is:
- Date Tabled to Agenda item 5k
- Location
- Major topics
- Discussion on when to have it was done Nov 15 and decided that we have it sooner rather than later.
- Contracting out action plan and NOC discussion be done at the meeting.
- Planning should include people that are planning topic presentations at the meeting. NOC steering to participate in setting agenda for the meeting.
- Planning can be done via teleconference.
- A poll of Subgroup presidents for what they might want to see happen at the subgroup presidents meeting.
- Suggestion that the contract proposal committee be tied to the Subgroup president’s meeting.
Rob Scott: send out request for suggestion to executive and arrange for teleconference with Gordon (NOC chair) to plan event.
5e Website Domain Name registration
Currently the English site of the CS Group is no longer registered to the CS Group.
The email address is no longer available.
It will take 3 months to reclaim the site. Maybe this should be a sign that the site be gotten rid of.
Problem solution is that a new bilingual domain be gotten and registered rather than have two separate websites. Cost might be $163 dollars to register the site.
We really need to gather the archived information that is on the current website to have archived on new site.
Another suggestion also be that we put the CS website on the PIPSC servers.
Motion: To quickly register a new CS Domain name to get us back online for up to $200. Moved by Robert Second by Denis. Carried
Robert T / Denis: look into registering the new CS domain name.
