- Staff members taking a course have to visit their home faculty.

- Daniel will send out a list of prospective targets to delete.
- As part of an ongoing maintenance Daniel will plan to send this out at timely intervals.
- It was recommended not to use applications marked as "test".
Old accounts
- In December 2005 Erick sent out a list of possible candidates (old accounts) that are targeted for removal
- He requested that everyone get rid of the ones that are no longer required.
