Note: In order to make the meeting accessible to people with tight schedules we're working to keep it to 60 minutes. If an item above requires more than the limited time allotted, discussions may continue after the meeting, next month, or at separately scheduled times. All of these are important issues that warrant attention. Thanks for your patience with the effort to accommodate everyone.
