Patrick and I are on the list just as observers. I'm planning on 
attending the concall on Tuesday, with possibly also Jamie Clark. I 
won't be running the show -- that's up to you guys, but want to be 
available to you to answer questions and provide information, as well as 
referee if necessary :-)

The Tuesday meeting will be a good opportunity to clarify who the 
members of the SC should be, and get this roster straightened out.

The charter for the member section and its steering committee is the MS 
Rules of Procedure document. It's been revised a time or two; I've 
attached what I believe is the latest version from February.

The OASIS CEO (Patrick Gannon) has been sending quarterly financial 
report to Don Bergeron. I'll see if I can get the latest financial 
report for you by Tuesday. Or, if Don's at the meeting he should be able 
to provide this.

Roger's description of the spending policy is correct: you have a budget 
and it's your (the SC's collective) decision on how to spend it. You 
make a recommendation, via the SC chair, to the CEO and then if it's an 
appropriate expenditure then he'll sign the check.
