New Board Members</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">There is a
decent chance that two additional sustaining board members will apply to join
soon. This is great news. For the record, there is a standing board
decision that we will accept all sustaining board members who apply unless the
board explicitly votes to reject a membership application. If new
sustaining members join before the election, additional community seats will be
added to the slate.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">We agreed
that discussions about possible revenue restructuring for the foundation should
occur once the new board is in place in January and once certification
decisions have been made.</p>

enabling people to give earmarked donations</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">There was a discussion
on the possibility of enabling individuals and organizations to pledge money
towards specific goals. Apparently this happening within the Japanese
chapter. For instance, people could potentially pledge money towards
continuing to develop the interop and security testing capabilities of
<a href="http://test-id.org" target="_blank">test-id.org</a> or towards producing Japanese-language versions of the pages.
There would still need to be some board or executive committee decision that
the proposed project aligns with the foundation’s goals and that
undertaking it will not unduly compete for resources needed for higher-priority
projects.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Mike raised
the question of whether pledged money should also count towards membership
dues. It was agreed that we should consider this possibility in the context
of revenue restructuring discussions that are likely to occur once the new
board is in place.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> </p>

steering committee update</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Don will
present a draft request for information document to the committee on the call
tomorrow. The audience of that document is potential certification
program partners. Some committee members are asking for clear timelines
and a vision for what the program would look like, not just for the next six
months, but potentially for years. In response to this, Don and Drummond
will be presenting a phased approach to the committee, with objectives and
decision points at each phase.</p>
