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.

Stu can finish the drafts per the schedule below.    We would then shut
the committees down and only focus on checkers which would be the July
draft.
