1. Approval of Minutes and Notes
   No minutes have been taken on last call. Summary for publication
   has been circulated just prior to call - will be arroved unless
   issues are raised by email. LS will try to generate minutes from
   EE's private notes.

2. BoD discussed further schedule:
   a. It was agreed that discussion of upcoming events should not take
      place among the board but be held on a more open forum.
   b. Bylaws have to be finished, including the membership agreement.
   c. Work on reimbursement and spending policy needs to be done.
      It was discussed how ideas should be collected: There are people
      who could contribute valuable input outside of the board.
   d. Further issues to be collected on the mailing list to be put
      on agenda.

3. Bylaws:
   Bylaw committee incorporated comments collected on last call and
   during the past two weeks. Document is almost ready for legal
   review. Deadline for further comments has been set. Later comments
   should not delay the process.

4. Security Releases:
   The issue of how to announce and make available security fixes has
   come up in the community: the last security release has not yet
   been made available on X.Org's official web site.
   Resolution:
   Among the security WG a volunteer should be found who'd willing
   to be responsible for such announcements to be given access to
   the X.Org web page. SA will make an announcement to the security
   maling list.
