<p>Raj has been unable to obtain contact information or current account
balances from Bill Washburn.&nbsp; We are considering having one or more of the
Bay Area board members go to his house to try to pick up the information.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>A discussion was held about what the sustaining member's dues will be going
forward.&nbsp; One member recalled a conversation about possibly lowering it
from $50,000.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Another had no expectation of the dues being
lowered, and that has been told to new members as well.&nbsp; Brian took an
action item to talk to the other sustaining members.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>All 3 candidates have been interviewed by all four committee members and an
outside third party.&nbsp; There were two qualified candidates.&nbsp; We have
selected a front-runner, who has not yet been told that he is the first
choice.&nbsp; Brian is continuing to investigate relevant background issues.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Brian plans a board vote to give the hiring committee authority to negotiate
and make an offer.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>We agreed that a 7 day notification period and 7 day voting period is too
long for routine matters.&nbsp; Brian will have a board vote to shorten these

<p>There was consensus by the marketing committee to spend $1K for a demo
booth, which the EC affirms.&nbsp; Without a budget and marketing plan we
agreed not to spend more at this time.&nbsp; There was an agreement that we
should try to do something else with Liberty and the ICF, but possibly in a
forum more closely matching our target audience.&nbsp; Brian will communicate
this to Britta Glade and Charles Andres, as well as highlighting our funding of
the OSIS OpenID interop tests that John Bradley is developing that will be
presented at the event.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>This position has been approved.&nbsp; Nat has stated his willingness to
serve.&nbsp; Snorri has been out of communication due to family issues.&nbsp;
We agreed to hold a vote in 7 days and if Snorri has not responded by then,
we'll skip the vote, since there would only be one candidate.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>David took an action item to contact the specs council members and find out
