President's Report
Nothing to report.
Treasurer's Report
The treasurer has been travelling for work pretty much non-stop. As a result, I'm still behind and have not caught up on data entry or tax issues. As such, I'll like to talk about electing a new treasurer earlier rather than later.
Secretary's Report
Nothing to report.
SPI Trademark Report
MJ Ray sent a report to the board summarising spi-trademark's activity. There was a complaint about hinner.de and it turned out that a word had been omitted from the Debian web site, thanks to Josip Rodin for fixing it. There was an enquiry about Drupal's trademark. Last reply was from Greg asking for documents.

Items up for discussion
Debian Logo License
Anthony Towns has proposed relicensing both Debian logos to an MIT-style copyright and enforce the trademark and any enforcement should be aimed at ensuring the logos remain available for promoting Debian. There was feedback from Greg about the trademark on the word Debian, so the licence will only apply to the logo. We're waiting on an ok from the DPL on this issue to move it forward. We should hopefully be able to complete this shortly.
Opensource.org summary text
Neil McGovern reminded board members who have not yet approved the summary to review the text.
OpenVAS
This item is deferred to next meeting to allow the membership to comment.
Adjournment
