JN and Roland will handle supervision of this
Install initial login keys
After this, everything can be done remotely

Install Mailman

Mailing Lists setup
Set up moderators

Re-establishing members

Make Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) accessible from server. 
The constitution and bylaws refer to Board approving new members. 
Bylaws require annual check of list, and this is a suitable time to do so.
send  “This is the bylaws-required membership check” message to all currently
listed members as well as mailing list current registrants. Also post on website
Request return of a signed copy of the AUP (signature image appended, 
or physically signed then scanned), these will be stored encrypted, possibly 
separate from Tux.

Document how to back up new system

Test system is working

Turn off old Tux, change IP address on new system.

Ongoing:

regular backups
Panic Book updates
