Today we held the last Board meeting of the year. We met virtually via Zoom and covered two important topics. The first one was a presentation by Angie Byron, who serves on the Technical Advisory Committee. She gave an update on the group’s current tooling study along with next steps, which will include a community blog post where members can provide input on the various tool options being studied.

The second item was sharing our thanks and saying goodbye to two wonderful Board members whose seats expire this month - Danese Cooper and Rob Gill. Danese, who has been on many open source foundation boards, provided great insight and knowledge that helped us navigate as we matured as a community and a Project. And Rob, who worked for NBCUniversal when he first joined the Board, was instrumental in helping The Association understand how to better serve the needs of the end users in our community. We are a better organization because of their generous donation of time and talent.

Please go here if you would like to watch the November 22 Board meeting, read the meeting minutes, or review the Board packet, which also includes our 12 month execution plan dashboard.

We will announce the 2017 Board meeting schedule next month.
