Minutes

Roll Call for Quorum Determination
Attending: 9 of 14 voting members. Quorum reached.
Approval of prior meeting minutes

Review: Leadership Council Teleconference - 2009-10-07. Moved Consumer ID, Seconded BoT Rep (MG). Minutes accepted as drafted by unanimous consent.

3. 2009 Supplemental Budget Requests Update:

- BoT Approved: InfoSharing WG: Survey Phase 1. Jo reported next steps
- BoT Approved: Japan WG: Interpreter Services for November 6th. Kenji not on call to report next steps
- Pending LC Vote: IAWG: /wiki/spaces/PMO/pages/2232477. Deliverable #1 $10K: BoT has asked for clarification to ensure work not duplicating staff action to create KI templates. Frank says 'no', that it is feedback from the ICAM and ARB reviews that needs incorporating after the KI doc templates, but reports that a volunteer has been found so no budget request for Deliverable #1 or #2 needs to proceed at this time. Staff understand work is being done on templates but will confirm. Ken reported that he had taken a BoT action to follow up with Frank.
  Action Item: Joni to confirm KI staff doing KI doc templates
- Frank to set up a briefing for the LC on the IAWG: LC agreed this action had been covered in last week's call and should be closed
- Colin to set up a briefing for the LC on the ARB: Colin confirms this is set for next weeks call, and just needs placing high in the agenda (Item 3?)

4. LC to vote on the OP/Bylaws changes approved by the BoT

MOTION: Approval of Amendments to Operating Procedures for All Member Ballot: Moved eGov, Sec'd IdP Selection. Motion tabled without vote

2. Next Step: All member ballot

Discussion: Proposed text was checked aginst that approved by BoT and found identical. Concern raised on wording of (i) in terms of timing, when in the meeting, Voting status may be reaquired, and whether it is the Chair's or the member's discretion that voting status be changed. There was also concern about the time delay of electronic voting that meant that a members voting status may not be known at the time of the electronic vote, vs the immediacy of a teleconference. The LC agreed to continue discussing the issue via email and look to a vote on the Motion by the end of next meeting latest.

5. BoT Update from Colin, Conor, Ken, Mathew:

Joni updated the LC on the move across of the Liberty docs
