A
good bit of discussion took place on how to properly proceed with the
acquisition of SATCO. It was agreed upon that communications must be
direct with Randy Whistler, not through a third party. It was also
decided that Harvey Stein will contact Randy Whistler by telephone to
discuss the acquisition. The Board decided to pay $120 for the satco.org
domain name. Monies will be sent to George Marinakis and a check sent
via certified mail or similar (FedEX/UPS) will be sent to Randy, along
with papers turning over the SATCO.org name and all rights to SATCO. The
specifics are yet to be worked out. Also, the remaining HQ Staff of
SATCO will be considered for similar positions at VATSIM HQ.
An
Executive Board was set up based on geographic positions and headed up
by a regional director.
Tom
Schroeder becomes the first member voted to the Executive Board. He
represents the North America division. The rest of the spots are left
open at present.
Harvey
Stein reported a verbal agreement has been established with Joe Jureka
of the Developer’s Group and a written agreement will be sent to
Harvey Stein to sign with regards to licensing the software.
