[TriLUG] RTI as a meeting place?

[Roy Vestal]

There are 2 requirements, at least when I was there:

1. He simply has to say he wants to be the room sponsor, with the 
proposal showing some educational reasons.
2. He will need to be at all meetings using the space to verify the RTI 
room policies are being followed. Essentially, he will be the "chaperone".
