[Spacecadets] Proposed proposal 2.

[Geoff Nicholson]

In the original statement, the * item read to indicate that there were two
"original missions"; I would amend it to read thus:

* The original mission of the task force was to look at options for
expanding, or relocating Quelab. The mission then refined to focus on the
feasibility of renting the Annex and looking at how the space would be
utilized to make recommendations on ideal utilization configurations which
would benefit Quelab.

Having not attended any of the meetings, I can't speak to the content as a
Space Cadet.
