+
+1. By-Laws/Membership Agreement final version
+   The Membership Agreement has not received any public review, therefore
+   it is urgent to get this out to the voters. The subcommittee has met
+   again and incorporated the results of the public discussions into the
+   By-Laws and completed the rewrite of the Membership Agreement 
+   incorporating the results from legal review and sentiments expressed
+   during the By-Law public review.
+   Some minor issues were noted by Board Members:
+   1. Minor grammar glitches were noted in the By-Laws.
+   2. Grammer in section 2 of the Membership Agreement needs to be improved.
+   3. The Membership Agreement doesn't mention explicitely that Members
+      are allowed to chair committees (as it is expressed in the By-Laws).
+      This will be added.
+   4. Section 5a was unclear to some Board Members. It was decided to
+      take it to the lawyer for a rewording. Also it was expressed that
+      the second sentence should probably be removed as the first one
+      only refers to X.Org related activeties and does not touch other
+      contractual relationships between Members.
+   Since time is short it was agreed to fix points 1-3 and publish this
+   version for review noting that it is still preliminary and section
+   5a is still under review.
+
+2. Incorporation Issues
+   LS reported that he is still waiting for the accounting data from
+   our treasurer. EE has agreed to work with the treasurer to help
+   converting it into the right format.
+   Furthermore it was pointed out that former Board Members need to
+   return their Membership Certificates. A discussion came up around
+   the meaning of this certificate and how it should be stored.
+   It was pointed out that this certificate is comparable to a share
+   as it certifies that one is the owner of part of the organization.
+   It was agreed upon that after all paperwork about registration
+   is done it needs to be investigated how to record this ownership
+   in a way that doesn't require such documents.
