 = Discussion Notes =
 
+* Endowed viz position search
+ - Just 3 applicants so far since announcement 3 weeks ago, none appear qualified.
+
+* CGL email server possible shutdown
+ - Tom Ferrin, Brian Shoichet, Hal Collard and others will meet a week from Friday to discuss CGL email server.
+ - Suspect UCSF IT wants to shutdown CGL email.
+ - This will be disruptive to ChimeraX project since mailing list and bug reporting uses that email.
+ - Also transition to alternative email will impair endowed chair search.
+ - Also UCSF email blocks exchange of Python scripts which is a frequent need for our work.
+ - We could propose shutting it down over one year (by May 2027 when Wynton is shut down) to give time to change over.
+
+* ChimeraX distribution export control
+ - UCSF office of export control requested info about ChimeraX and Chimera distribution.
+ - They want to make sure distribution is blocked for 5 sanctioned countries (Iran, North Korea, Cuba, ...).
+ - They requested last 5 years of download IP addresses.
