TELEPHONY

-CONSENSUS to provide individual extensions for end-users, with voicemail boxes which are accessible by a default random pin.

Internet-in-a-Box for future occupation site

-We have the Clearspot from OWS!

-We can build at least one more Internet box like the one at Peach&Pine

-Ryan has some deep cycle batteries and possible containers to support an internet box in an unpowered park.

-Chaining the box to a tree might make it less safe against police, idea to fill container with water jugs to make it hard to carry away?

Internet access for Peach&Pine

CONSENSUS: John B will be given the combination for the Internet-in-a-Box in case of a police eviction.

 

Collaborative Minutes
