Rcpt.to bill
        - from Oct '97 to Aug '00 calculated to be $589.79
        - [YAK] will organise billing
        - future billing arangements (how, when, who) will be discussed at
        another time.
                - possible solutions: a rcpt.to coke account, which when
                negative will cause rcpt.to co-located boxes to lose
                connectivity; a representative from rcpt.to around the
                clubroom lots to act as the money man for the cabal.

[addition [GMB]
This was more of a joke. I think the real idea was to have emails sent 
out when it went negative. I don't think anything so drastic is needed, 
considering the rcpt.to people didn't try to avoid paying for the traffic 
they've used so far.

The representative thing needs to be discussed. Some people raised 
concerns that it's quite possible nobody in rcpt.to will be on committee 
next year. I think it's much fuss about nothing - UCC doesn't need to 
organise rcpt.to paying bills, they're more than smart enough to arrange 
it for themselves.
