Minutes

  1. Roll Call for Quorum Determination
    • Quorum not reached.
  2. Approval of prior meeting minutes
    1. Please review: Leadership Council Teleconference - 2009-08-19
      • Deferred due to lack of quorum.
  3. WG / DG Updates:
    • Healthcare Assurance WG and eGov WGs have been fully provisioned. They need to be announced to the community list.
    • Question: Do white papers produced in WGs become official Kantara positions? No, if the group simply wants to publish their own documentation. If the Kantara membership votes on progressing a document, it could become an official position.
  4. Board of Trustees Update (if any) [Colin, Conor]
    • The BoT will meet this Thursday. No updates.
  5. 2010 WG & DG Requirements / Requests Planning
    • The prescribed process is designed to allow group chairs to focus on how best to meet their goals, and to allow financial experts to look after the numbers.
    • The process defines a budget preparation committee (BPC), chaired by the Kantara Treasurer (Roger Martin), to which the LC Chair needs to appoint one or more members.
    • What sorts of budget requests are reasonable? It's hard to know in "year 1". It's okay to propose anything that a group feels is strategic to its success in meeting its charter, even if it involves 5-figure numbers. Then the budget process will field all requests. Not all requests can probably be satisfied, though.
    • How is budgeting handled for any groups that get formed after Sep 2009, or sometime in 2010? Out-of-cycle budget requests can be considered, and money should be allocated in anticipation of such requests. Being in a startup phase makes this issue even more important.
    • AI: Trent: Send an outline of the budget process to the LC list.
  6. Operating Procedure Updates Discussion
    1. Please review: Operating Procedures Review
      • Trent has seeded this page with some items that have come up in the past.
      • This F2F discussion is timed to allow the LC to bring its recommendations directly to the BoT.
      • It was suggested to capture not only the "bugs" but also proposals for how to fix them, leading up to the F2F.
  7. Process for inter-group work across IPR regimes
    • Inter-group liaison activity is good but has run into a structural issue. E.g., if group 1 under IPR regime A is working on a white paper for which it solicits input from group 2 under IPR regime B, how can this work?
    • If a group is making a contribution to another group, it gets complicated. If a person in one group decides to make a contribution to another group, they can join it.
    • Do we have to look at different "classes" of documents a la the old Liberty IPR review situation?
  8. Nominations for LC Secretary, to replace Eve Maler
    • Eve needs to step down from the Secretary position by the time of the DIDW meetings.
    • Nominations are open for the next week.
    • Feel free to get in touch with Eve to find out what duties the Secretary position entails.
