The motion passed unanimously. 5 Funding, Budgeting, and Financial Update A Update on invoicing An additional $1.1K seems small enough to pass any of our corporate scrutiny. Most the companies have given feedback that this amount would be easy to get. We should get invoices out to member companies. Karen will have the IEEE invoice all of us for $1.1K. (Special invoicing for Intel & Sun) A motion (Dennis Brophy, Yossi Levi) was made to assess ourselves an additional $1.1K to be assessed. The motion passed unanimously. B Additional funding request If there is another slip in the schedule, the editor will need another quarterly payment. This will add an additional $10K for the editor. And, for the next year, an additional $40K would be needed for the next year. 6 Editing update Stu can finish the drafts per the schedule below. There was a January draft but it was pushed out to March. Stu will deliver it and another draft that are items through 4/15,or so. We would then shut the committees down and only focus on checkers which would be the July draft. Then we would have a draft with the results of the checkers committee in August. 7 Schedule Status Update Karen updated some of these details during the meeting.
