   * Motion to disallow corporate voting:
     Whereas, It is inappropriate for corporations to have voting rights;

     Resolved, That TFN refrain from exercising any votes to which it
     is entitled by its relationships with other institutions (such as
     Alterna Credit Union of which TFN is a voting member);

     Resolved, That TFN henceforth refuse membership to corporations;

     Resolved, That TFN expel any current members who are corporations.
     M/S:  Colin/Iain
     Aye: 1  Nay: 6  Motion lost.

   * Motion to allow members to have multiple accounts:
     Whereas, Membership in TFN is supposed to confer a single vote at
     general meetings; and

     Whereas, Members sometimes reasonably desire, request, and succeed
     in obtaining multiple services, such as DSL+dialup or a pair of
     mailboxes for separate purposes, or a secondary account for the
     use of an elderly or minor relative;

     Resolved, That the concept of membership be henceforth considered
     separate from the concepts of user accounts and of other
     subscription services;

     Resolved, That TFN's software be adjusted as necessary to allow each
     member to obtain and to pay for multiple accounts and services,
     including accounts and services for other parties (with the consent
     of those parties or with the consent of their guardians) for whose
     conduct the member agrees to be held accountable;

     Resolved, That this adjustment to TFN's software be done in a way
     that retains TFN's ability to maintain a database that enforces the
     principle of one member one vote; and

     Resolved, That any existing membership records identified as
     conferring multiple votes to the same individual be re-categorized
     in TFN's databases as mere accounts belonging to a single member.
     M/S:  Iain/Lee
