on planning for next year. Orientation materials are being prepared for
the new board members. A user experience summit will be hosted by Sears,
to held Feb 25<sup>th</sup> in Chicago 10am-4pm. Brian reports that there
are currently 28 attendees confirmed. Video conference feeds will be used
as well. We expect some additional sustaining members to join in
January. Corresponding community members will be added as they
join. Planning work is proceeding, taking the results of the board
priorities survey into account. Don will be reaching out to each
committee chair asking for their input into the planning, including what
resources they’re requesting. During 2009 we were successful in
addressing the organizational “plumbing” issues then facing
us. Therefore, in 2010, the organization should be able to focus more on
substantive initiatives.<o:p></o:p></p>

2010. The next scheduled board meeting slot following the current
calendar would be Wednesday, January 13<sup>th</sup> at 4pm Pacific Time.
The committee decided to hold the next full board meeting then. Holding
the meeting then will give some time to get briefing materials to the new board
members in advance. The first agenda item will be the election of
officers and selection of the remainder of the executive committee
members. Don and John Ehrig will prepare a proposed calendar of key events
for the new year at that meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
