John,

Here are the results from the Board meeting on 2-3 Nov.

The Board discussed the proposed revisions to the LegalXML RoP. We agree with the intent to include a statement on IPR mode for affiliated TCs, however the Board felt that the current Member Section Policy needed to be revised extensively to align its terminologies and definitions better with the current TC Process. In conducting such revision, the Board would like to include a representative of each Member Section. Would that be you or some other designee to represent LegalXML on this ad hoc Board team?

The Board also provided some further guidelines concerning financial reporting and budgeting. Following are the relevant resolutions from the draft Board minutes:

"Proposed updates to the Legal XML RoP were reviewed and discussed. Further discussion and approval of proposed changes was deferred until after policies governing Member Section activity are developed. The sense of the board was that Member Section RoPs will be able to determine certain conditions, such as IPR mode, under which TCs can be affiliated with the Member Section."

"Proposed revisions to the Member Section Policy were reviewed and discussed.

ACTION ITEM 2005-11-02.02: Patrick Gannon to launch an ad-hoc group to develop Member Section Policy, comprised of Patrick Gannon, Chris Kurt, Frederick Hirsch, Mike DeNicola and representatives from each Member Section. Due before next meeting."

"RESOLUTION 2005-11-02.02: RESOLVED, that each Member Section is required to prepare a draft budget each year for the following calendar year.

- ALSO RESOLVED, that this draft budget must be submitted prior to December 1 of each year to OASIS Management for inclusion in the organizational budget, for approval by the OASIS Board of Directors, and,

- ALSO RESOLVED, that this draft budget shall be distributed to Member Section members for their information, and,

- ALSO RESOLVED, that if a Member Section does not expend its funds according to its approved budget, the Board may stop all future allocation of funds to that Member Section until an acceptable spending plan is received and approved by the Board. In such case, withheld funds will revert to the OASIS General Fund and will be lost to the Member Section.

Passed Unanimously."

While the final deadline for budgeting is Dec 1, we would appreciate receiving your list of planned expenditures as soon as possible.
