Several thoughts:

	* I think that if IC were prepared to house the TB, it really
	  ought to be funded by the UKUUG, partly to encourage smaller
	  site to join up (and join uknet as well, of course)

	* if it is felt that the UKUUG archives should only benefit
	  UKUUG members, it could be still made to work -- by granting
	  access only to UKUUG members.

	* Of course, the GPL ensures that any GNU software obtained
	  in this fashion must be re-distributable to anyone freely,
	  but that should not be an argument against setting such a
	  service up.  Service for the membership should be of
	  paramount consideration if this effect of the GPL bothers
	  anyone.

	* If you're going to run SLIP, the TB had better be a 2500 :-)

OK Tim, you're nominated chairman of the lobbying committee.
