4. Officer Reports

    A. Chairman   [Roy]

       Roy reported that he had more time available to focus on
       the ASF. First on his agenda was to update the ASF site
       to reflect reality.

    B. President  [Brian]

       Brian reported that he was working on various Licensing
       issues, including a "write-up" of sorts describing the
       Apache License and how it compares with other Licenses.
       This is in response to discussions on various mailing
       lists.

    C. Treasurer  [Randy]

       Randy reported the current status of the ASF banking account.
       Detailed account information can be found in the Funds
       directory of the foundation CVS tree/site.
       
       Randy reported that the ASF has received notice from the IRS of
       our filing for 501(c)(3) status. 

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

       Jim had nothing to report.

5. Committee Reports

    A. Apache Conferences Committee [Ken]

       Ken reported that the Conference Committee was working the
       issues for the next ApacheCons, including addressing the
       feedback received that an ApacheCon in Australia would be
       a positive venue.

6. Special Orders

    None.

7. Unfinished Business

    None.

8. New Business

    A Round-table discussion was held on 2 topics:
    
    A. Scheduled Board Meetings

       It was agreed that a Board Meeting would be held on the 3rd
       Wednesday of every month at 9:00am Pacific Time. It is
       anticipated that by having monthly meeting they will be short
       and concise. These could be supplimented by the use of irc.

       Jim was to determine the feasibility of procuring telecon
       services under the ASF directly, instead of using telecon
       services provided on the ASF's behalf.

    B. Webmaster Employee for ASF

       It was agreed that it made sense for the ASF to look into
       hiring support to serve as a "webmaster" for the ASF sites.
       Brian was to generate a Job Description for such a position
       to be reviewed and possibly voted for at the next board
       meeting.
       
9. Announcements

    None.

10. Adjournment

    The meeting was adjourned at 10:25pm BST +0100.
