Present: Danny, Alan, John, Dave, Sarah, Sue

Absent: Deb, Gonzalo

Meeting starting late due to confusion about meeting info: new info sent–please delete old! Reminders didn’t go out because Listserv does not seem to be working. John to investigate.

Board meeting 1/19/12:

• David Lansky (to be confirmed), Cheryl Greene, Paul Wallace rotating off
• At meeting, we will elect board member (1) (3 year term)
• Founders will elect 1, via email (3 year term)
• In July we choose 2 members-at-large–Alan proposes plebiscite for this (1 year term)

• Alan proposed advisory board of former members— they would be ambassadors

• Who will own this?
• Does this add confusion about our governance structure (exec committee, board, founders, etc.)?
• Should it be voluntary?
• Concern about having board members who are committed and would work

• We don’t have a board chair as of Board mtg when Dave steps down

• Should board elect a new chair at this meeting? Or should president take this on?
• When will voting take place and how do we get folks info about candidates? Alan dropped off so Danny e-mailing him. *** Alan says we’ll have discussion and if natural leading candidate stands out we can vote but otherwise will follow with an e-vote. We’ll get bio sketches and maybe paragraph or two personal statements from each candidate and distribute.

• Jon L stepping off of communication team: Ilieana Balcu will be taking over
• Strategic planning: Sarah and Nancy doing interviews now.
• ONC: mtg TBA with Sarah, Alan, and Deb and me from SPM and Lygeia and company from ONC
