The general topic of conversation was how to ensure Kakapo dealt with the
appropriate issues and did not re-hash topics from other meetings. There
was general agreement that we would serve a more useful purpose by dealing
with higher level issues as opposed to technical solutions to specific
problems.
There was agreement that we need to develop a presence on the web and begin
to create polices as issues arise. Some details of the conversation are below.
Kerem to have domain and owners page list by tonight
3-down type of communication vehicle would be helpful.
We still need a list of all windows services offered. We have some but not all.

possible holes
