== NOTICE REGARDING ALLSTARLINK ==
A change to the AllStarLink, Inc. Board of Directors and supporting volunteers was done at a membership meeting on 14 February 2021. Official notice of this change has been sent to the former AllStarLink, Inc. Board of Directors and supporting volunteers.
Until the official AllStarLink wiki at [http://wiki.allstarlink.org wiki.allstarlink.org] is turned over to the new board (as of the date of this wiki article), all information regarding the actions taken by the AllStarLink, Inc. Board shall be posted here.
==== Targeted Harassment ====
A statement from the AllStarLink, Inc Board of Directors regarding targeted harassment by the former (now censured and dismissed) AllStarLink board members and their supporters can be found [http://lists.keekles.org/pipermail/app_rpt-users/2021-March/021193.html here]
== Changes to the organization ==
You can read about the changes made to the AllStarLink, Inc. organization at the 14 February 2021 meeting [[:Media:Statement regarding the changes to AllStarLink.pdf|here]]
AllStarLink, Inc. was formed as a Florida non-for-profit with the goals of continuing Jim's vision for enhancing communications between amateurs around the world. We're in the process of attaining 501(c)3 enabling all donations to be tax-deductible, and to show good stewardship of our supporters funds. We've segmented operations into two parts, one of running/improving network services, and the larger group doing development.
== AllStarLink Board of Directors ==
The AllStarLink, Inc Board of Directors is as follows (ASL bylaws, Art III, Sec 2, Item C):

</center>
The development team is focused on improving on the codebase and updating asterisk and app_rpt. Over the next year we intend to move to a more recent version of asterisk, if not the current version. This will enable much needed updates for security and new network protocols.
