- Node finances and installation
When business owner pays for node hardware or donates money for installation they will make out check to PersonalTelcoProject.
PersonalTelcoProject will not authorize installers to collect any fees for personal work from the business owner.
The PersonalTelcoProject board of directors should decide if PersonalTelcoProject will give a stipend installers. The stipend will be issued from PersonalTelcoProject funds and a 1099 form will be submitted with PersonalTelcoProject tax filings. A 1099 will also be given to anyone receiving a stipend at the end of the year.
- Flower Project
- This is the code word for a node that is in the making.
- Alina and Eugene are assigned to work on this and are planning an initial contact meeting.

- Dat Nguyen will contact the web designers that have already expressed a desire to work on the project.

The PersonalTelcoProject board will approve all changes to the web site.
- A team will be formed to make the updates under the direction of the board.

Node owners are like PersonalTelcoProject customers. Each new node owner will sign and agree to the terms of support that will be presented with a node proposal.
