(guests Porter Merriman and Jennifer Daehler from Autodesk and Heather Meeker http://www.gtlaw.com/people/biography.aspx?id=5523&detail=1#overview). Contributor agreements, and copyright assignment were discussed in some detail.

Heather agreed to work on a revised version of the Contributor Agreement Rich prepared in the spring, as well as a suggested Copyright Assignment document for further review.
=== Update from Tyler ===
Tyler could not attend.
=== Discuss board-priv use and membership ===
Short discussion. It was pointed out that it must be possible to discuss issues regarding the ED position without Tyler. It was assumed that all in the board are capable of typing in eight email adresses by hand if need be. Tyler thus is on the board priv list. This list is only to be used in cases that need discretion. Did secretary miss anything about membership?
