Meetings
Due to various changes in the schedules of the board members and the usual turbulence of the holiday season, there has been no board meeting since November and the board meeting time has had to be moved. For the time being, meetings are planned for Thurdays, starting 23 Jan and occuring every two weeks.

March Meeting
Jon will obtain legal advice regarding the possibility of adjusting the annual meeting so as to hold it simultaneously with the Solution Symposium. This may or may not require changes to the Bylaws.
