4. Officer Reports

    A. Chairman [Greg]

       The Board held an IRC conference to talk about many issues that
       are confronting the ASF at this time. No decisions were made in
       private -- the ideas from the meeting have been incorporated
       into this agenda. A large part of the discussion, and a concern
       for the ASF, is better management of legal issues.
       
       During the past month, we have also been welcoming our new
       members into the ASF.

    B. President [Dirk]

	Annual members meeting, sharp increase in press requests,
	BXA/CCN number assignment still not solved. Need to ask
	Ken about procedure Hardship cases. 
	
	Request for exec session.

    C. Treasurer [Chuck]

       Lockbox papers have been filed with Wells Fargo. I am awaiting
       a response from them. When Lockbox goes active, the mailing
       address for contributions will change.

       Office expenses have been mailed to Jim.

       We received a check for $6695 from IBM last month which has been
       deposited and shows in our current balances. We have also received
       a check for $2000 from Red Mountain Technologies that has not yet
       deposited.

       Current balances (as of 12/15/2004):

       Paypal           $5471.78
       Checking        $27041.55
       Premium Mkt.   $100594.81

       Total          $133108.14

    D. Exec. V.P. and Secretary [Jim]

       Jim reported that that big event in the last month was the
       annual ASF Members Meeting, which was held via IRC on
       May 24th. There was a good turnout and, in general, there
       were less complaints about advance notice or scheduling
       issues than in previous years.
       
       The ASF Voter Tool was used, with the additional result of
       renewed interest in updating and improving the tool, to
       be easier to use and possibly more self-contained. The
       'voter-dev' mailing list was created to coordinate the
       efforts.
       
       We have received almost all the required member applications
       from the new members, and we are, as usual, receiving a steady
       input of iCLAs, with the occasional CCLA. No mailing has
       been received which requires board attention or action.

       A few issues were noted by various board members. First of all,
       it was reported that Dims was "forced" off the Oasis mailing
       list and delegated to "observer" status. It was also noted that
       the Oasis IPR Policy, as well as other protocols and policies
       which affect WS (especially WS Security Standards) could be
       a potential problem and issue with the WS Project. Ben
       indicated that, not under his ASF hat, he was attending a
       meeting regarding InfoCard, specifically regarding security
       and open standards relating to it.
       
       Because of these questions and issues, the board did NOT
       approve the WS Project report, and will request a revised
       and updated report for the next board meeting.
