Secretarial
I think each team should have a secretary, someone who is responsible for ensuring that there are minutes (and an agenda) for every meeting.

Minutes

 * Discussion of Goals for the national organization
 * Main purpose: To start new chapters and help them out once they get started
 * Things that need doing
 * Website overhaul: Cwilkin is in charge. Reports that webteam is working on bugs and hopes that most of them will drop by next week.
 * Funding: the conference will burn existing money, how do we get more?
 * We should look into grants from wherever
 * Selling t-shirts? From Downhillbattle store or move to a chapter and have them take care of it?
 * It would be easier for us to sell Tshirts through DHB since 1) they have the existing shirts, 2) the webteam at fc.org is understaffed right now, and 3) it's a pain to deal with merchandise and orders!
 * What about Creative Commons?
 * Jobs that need people
 * Mailing lists for the teams to facilitate communication
 * Distribution of monkeys
 * Agenda for next week (2006-04-09 8 PM EDT)
