I think we should seriously consider looking for someplace else to hold 
meetings.  CMU has worked very well for us in the past, but with the 
additional red tape that's springing up, and the fact that we're 
starting to get somewhat cramped, I think we need to find someplace new.

Unfortunately, I have no suggestions.  I'm only able to reserve CMU 
rooms and the NSH rooms are the best I can think of.  There are a couple 
other rooms that might make good GUM rooms, with no room for having 
users bring a computer.  NSH 3305 comes to mind.  70 people capacity.
