against adding all the committee chairs to the executive committee. We
established it to be small and focused. Other committees should similarly
be focused, and regularly report on their progress to the full board (just like
the executive committee does). Adding the committee chairs to the
executive committee would only perpetrate the misperception that the real work
is done by the full board and the executive committee, rather than in the
numerous other focused committees.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

people on the EC, more if there are “co-chairs” for committees as
Don has been advocating. In addition, we don’t have a
committee specifically targeted to RPs and supporting adoption/usage.
Usability contributes to adoption, Marketing contributes to awareness, but if
we really want to drive adoption we should probably have an adoption focused
committee chaired by folks with mainstream RP focus. Maybe we should
reconsider what standing committees we need for 2010, but there will be a
number of them in any case.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D'>In 2009 the EC met
every 2 weeks (EC meetings then monthly full board meetings).
That’s a lot to expect 14+ people to participate in, and one of the
reasons we opted to keep the EC small in 2009. On the other hand, Don has
suggested less full board meetings in 2010, so perhaps we can have the EC meet
less frequently as well.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

hear again from Global Inventures what the role of the EC is vs. the entire

have been advocating moving more of the tactical execution and functional area
efforts to the committees and keeping the board and EC focused on strategy,

call yesterday, I think Daniel’s idea is a good one. We added the
technical and international liaison roles to ensure we had sufficient breadth
of perspective at the executive committee working level, and I think it served
us well in 2009. Given that we really want to continue to drive adoption
and usage in 2010, having a representative on the EC that brings the
“voice of the customer” is a good thing. We have some new
board members that bring that viewpoint and it would be great to make the most
of this in the coming year. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

suggestions that came out of that discussion was a suggestion from Daniel
Jacobson that the views of relying parties can be best represented by the addition
of a liaison on the executive committee. It was suggested that this new
role be similar to that of the international and technical community liaison
positions. These “non officer” positions are part of the executive
committee by virtue of board convention established last year rather than OIDF
by laws.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
