OIDF Priorities Poll</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">The board
discussed the results of a poll on OIDF priorities for next year. The
results will be posted to the public board list. One observation made was
that none of the specification work made the top tier, which may simply reflect
the reality that specification work is the job of working groups – not
the board. Don will be using the data as an input to his planning process
for next year.</p>
