I. Opening Comments
The excom discussed the agenda and agreed to focus on the agenda for the November BoT meeting and maybe schedule another excom call if needed. Raul asked if anyone had any conflicts of interest with the agenda items for today’s meeting. No one said they had any.
Raul then asked if the excom is ready to approve the public minutes of past excom meetings that the Secretary has posted to the excom mailing list. The excom discussed the minutes and agreed to provide any comments by Monday October 26, at which point the Secretary will forward the minutes for publication (with any requested changes).
