I move we break for lunch.
I object to the sixth motion on the grounds that Qtask is a proprietary 
company, that has a tendency to exclude critics

I would like to put in one of the pre-IRUA proposals the the name: 
CORE. It is a good in reference that members can feel good about 
knowing when they figure it out - these references are common among 
user groups and development projects. On the down side, it is less 
googleable.

The Second Meeting of the International REBOL User Group is called 
to order
I move that btiffin act as Chair for this meeting
Let the meeting begin with minutes from the first meeting read at
http://peoplecards.ca/rebol/iruameetingminutes.1.txt
Unlike the previous meeting, this meeting will include a roll call. 
 At any point during

this (at least) 72 hour meeting, members with interest will please 
speak to the group with

an "Aye, present".  This will allow discussions regarding votes, 
and quorums to proceed
at further meetings.
Let it be known, there is yet no Executive Committee and hence no 
Officer Reports.
