[Steering] Proposed agenda for meeting 5/12

[Lennie Irvin]

enCore Consortium Meeting May 2005--Proposed Agenda  May 12, 2005 9:00 AM CDT

Please realize that this is only my outline of discussion topics--your 
views on what we should talk about are wiser and more discerning than mine, 
so let me know what I'm missing or where this agenda needs adjustment.

1) Should we be taking minutes at these meetings?  Do we need to approve 
the minutes from the previous meeting?

2) Membership Report  (Rhonna? and Lennie)

3) Funding vote
I would like to propose that we hold a vote for allocating honorariums to 
Daniel Jung and to Cynthia and Jan (as we had agreed to do).  I am 
completely shooting in the dark here on amounts, but here is what I propose:

--$6,000 for Daniel (remember, this is paid to his department and not 
directly to Daniel)
--$3,000 for Cynthia and Jan

I propose that we discuss this funding issue via email before the meeting 
so that we can simply vote.  I will set up two mail distribution lists 
messages: one that will discuss the funding for Daniel (Daniel will be 
excluded from that list) and one for discussing funding for Cynthia and Jan 
(Cynthia will be excluded from that list).  In each case, you can simply 
REPLY ALL to enter the discussion.  Of course, if we feel we are not 
prepared to vote yet, we can postpone the vote.

4) Update from Daniel on enCore v5 beta and the usability testing to be 
done at Texas Tech. (Daniel and Lennie)

--Do we want to shift our Consortium "banner" over to an enCore beta 
environment?  When?

5) Guidance for the enCore Consortium Development Projects
--enCore Documentation Project 
(<http://encore-consortium.org/Documentation/>http://encore-consortium.org/Documentation/)
--enCore Interactivity Project
--enCore Graphics Library Project
--enCore Grant Writer's Project

6) Incorporation for the Consortium  (Barbara?)
--Our plans were to become an official "corporation" this summer.  What do 
we need to do?

Other items?

-----------------------------------------------

Please let me know by Wednesday if you want to add something or suggest 
changes to these items.  I'm going to be realistic and say there is no way 
we can be done in one hour, so let's target 1 1/2 hours.  After 90 minutes, 
we pull the plug.

Lennie
