 * 3 - 5 year plan report
-Marie and laurel have been working on a [3 - 5 year plan] that can guide our priorities, growth and fundraising in the mid-term future. It is on the wiki at http://wiki.freegeek.org/index.php/3_-_5_year_plan. This is meant to provide some traction in the big planning meeting that we planned to do at last month's council meeting. Having an overall narrative of our plans will help in grantseeking and other fundraising.

+=== Board and officer turnover===
-* Link to relevint conversation.
+wren is on the east coast for the forseeable future. This means our chair is remote until the next meeting (which is after the elections, so we'd be electing a new slate anyway). Board has consensus that we would prefer to have our officers be local, in case something comes up. We will ask wren if he will resign from the position of chair; should he do so, the board has selected Oso as the replacement officer for the remainder of the term (ends in October).
-*:(Summarize Presentation)
-* List Clarifing Questions
+Proposed change to the bylaws: if a board member leaves in the middle of their term and the number of members does not fall below a certain minimum (5?), the council should not have to fill that position until the regular election cycle. But because the board can set its size within certain limits (5-11, not cutting terms short), this may not be necessary.
-** Question - Answer
-* List Concerns
+Marie's candidate (Curt Pedersen) is very excited about Free Geek, and we want to figure out what his route to participation is.  People who might be interested in positions on the board should be invited to come to meetings and events.
-** Concern - Questions Which Clarify the Concern
-* Proposal:
+Whose terms are expiring? Oso, Seamus, Aaron. Aaron is undecided on whether he'll run again.
-*: (final proposal)
-** Decition adopted (with Unresolved Concerns Listed - AKA Stand Asides) | Send to Committee (if creating a new committee list intrested people)
+Marie is in favor of trying to expand the board in order to bring in more skills.
