IT Issues:

1. What to do about wiki/forums/mailing lists? (need answers asap)
 * Liferay (java based cms) -- possible hosted env.
 * Drupal -- can handle member/conference registrations
 * Ultimate BBS with mailing list integration
 * What are we using Saleforce for?

2. Future of IT support
 * Ad server instructions are done.
 * Wiki upgrade process done, but needs continued updating
 * Mailing list needs to move to OWASP hardware (waiting on #1 above)

Vote Required:

1. Are we going to have a financial review for 2008. The cost is 5K. Suggestion is to skip the annual review and have full review every 3 years.

2. What to do with invoices over 1 year old. Send to collections? Write off? Current balance is $2900

3. Do we charge Local chapters processing fees for the 60/40 split. Currently we do not. Proposal is to pass along the transaction fees too the chapter for paypal processing.

4. Should we invest $2500 to support an OWASP meet up at Blackhat

5. GPC - Send 'Individual Committee Member' online form
