Roll Call

Minutes

Board of Trustees and Leadership Council - 10:30am-12:00pm

BUDGET 10:30am-12pm

Lucy shared the monthly financial reports for July (September not available yet - reports from IEEE-ISTO should be 4 weeks out, currently running 6-7 weeks out). Conservative in provisioning. We had a cash reserve, membership losses were included in the cash reserve. If membership stayed stable plus revenue in the certification program, there could have been more funds.

$300,000 most likely in assets (possibly $315,000) by year-end. Te organization is in the red. Burn loss, gives us a full operation year to run. We have this one year in which to turn a corner. If we don't get into the positive and go above the watermark, we may have two years to run.

In 2011, 11 members did not renew equalling $103,000 lost revenue. We gained 6 new members equally $18,000 in revenue.

We hope to see pops in EU based on some funding via European organizations may not happen until later next year. Work groups are doing good work and attract good public relations, but are not necessarily revenue generators.

The estimated Certification program revenue is projected to be $71,000 (2 large, 1 small = 3 CSPs). We will not see this income in the first half of 2012. We have a small credited assessor already in place. A large assessor is currently going through the process.

We need $50,000 in new memberships (not renewals) just to be stable. If we want to add back project budgets we need more than $50,000 in new revenue.

A Board Sub-committee focussing on membership opportunities will be formed.

Board of Trustees and Leadership Council - 1-3pm

BUDGET - LC SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET

The combined budget request total $88,000: http://kantara.atlassian.net/wiki/display/LC/2012+Budget+Allocation+Requests

If we use the these funds, we would only have six months left. These requests have been turned down in order for the organization to function. Groups (DG & WGs) will need to request sponsorship for their budget requests. The organization feels this is fair justification to use dollars for possible membership and marketing promotions.

Motion: Move that the BoT recommends a discretionary budget for projects to be reviewed quarterly.

Passed by unanimous consent.

MEMBERSHIP & MEMBERSHIP VALUE:

Should the organization try to continue with the same focus in trying to recruit or do we partner with others for Certification, building vibrant eco system and market players.

Target specific groups, entities. Value proposition for identity proofing, Certification, etc.

Is there a way to change the membership category to attract and fairly represent members?

New Membership Sub Committee: Joni Brennan, Lucy Lynch, Patrick Curry, Colin Wallis, Michelle Waugh.

New Mission / Vision: Maturation from Harmonization to Certification and Federation

Create a new "Subscriber" level membership, a new layer of membership, pricing TBD.
