Inventures. They provide support infrastructure for organizations and
associations. They have 25 clients at present. They provide a
professional backstop behind the volunteers running their client
organizations. Their services scale from small organizations to
organizations with thousands of members. They have broad knowledge of best
practices for making organizations effective. They are currently working
with Don and Raj on investigating directors’ insurance and are performing
“forensics and cleanup” to get the OIDF finances and databases to a

proposed a change that would enable the Specifications Council to authorize
creation of a working group without a member vote. David advocated that
we take a holistic view of the procedures and see what improvements can and
should be made overall. Mike stated the lawyers need to be involved in
this discussion, and that this activity should be conducted by the IPR
committee. Don agreed to coordinate setting up a day for people to work
on this.<o:p></o:p></p>
