4. OASIS. Lofton summarized the current status of the OASIS affiliation and presented the proposition of the BoD to change the corporate status of CGM Open to become a member section of OASIS. Lofton will submit a detailed proposal for revision by the BoD that will then be presented to the membership for comments and decision.

5. Pending elections. John Gebhardt moved to postpone the elections for 6 months. Dieter seconded. 6 sponsor members voted in the affirmative. The board has appointed Lofton Henderson as a board member after him leaving his former employer Inso.

6. Program director. The BoD has identified the need for support to increase the activity level because not everything can be based on voluntary work of full-time employees of member companies. Therefore the BoD has resolved to hire Lofton Henderson as a Program Director on a part time basis.

7. Financial report. John Gebhardt gave the financial report based on numbers provided by OASIS. These numbers still need to be verified. Boeing and NIST inquired about how membership fees are split between OASIS and CGM Open if a member joins the CGM Open affiliate.

8. Show presence. Kevin will draft a detailed description including a gross outline for a storyboard for decision by the BoD. The description will be circulated among the membership for comments.
