For starters, we now have an awesome collection of dms, 8 for OAS1 and 7 for OAS2. Many of these dm's are cross dm's (no they aren't mad...)
between both OAS's.
We recently held a meeting in which we made some very important decisions for our department. These decisions were made through the will of the team represented during the meeting, and I have recieved some positive feedback from those the were not as well. The decisions we had to make were given well before the meeting, so the Admissions Team had plenty of time to think on them, and those that could not make the meeting posted their thoughts by forum.
These are a few of the decisions that were made during the meeting that I wanted the community at large to be aware of.
1. LA races (underdark) will not be included in the choice of PC for OAS2. This decision was made mainly due to our reveiw process... it is best for us to keep things as simple as we can (keep in mind it will be a rarity for an applicant to go beyond 2nd level) for admissions purposes. We will be advertising the availability of these races for our Live servers in our OOC room to make sure that applicants know that once in live they are not restricted from these.
2. Planetouched races will not be included in the choice of PC for OAS2. This decision was made in the same vein as the above decision. Furthermore, we will be advertising the unavailability of these races for our Live servers in our OOC room to make sure that applicants know that once in Live they are restricted from these races.
The notices in the OOC room will remain in effect until such time, if that time comes, the community decides otherwise. So when the community finally wakes up, and bans Drow permanently from Live, we will make that change.
Just kidding. Maybe. 
DM times for the OAS1 will remain by appointment until such time as a moderate OAS1 show of applicants occurs.
DM times for the OAS2 will be scheduled, weekly times.
We made a couple of other decisions which applied to the server, and I am thinking of more things for us to weigh and discuss before OAS2 hits the community.
In other news, we will begin Client training shortly. I hope to have all the OAS2 Team comfortable with the client within the next two weeks. I will also be flushing out the OAS2 with commoner dialog and OOC rooms for applicant reveiw after quests, a dm room for my team, an rp 101 room, and a library listing our NWN2 Beta servers with descriptions.
Thanks for reading, I will keep the community updated on our progressions!
