1.1. Board

1.2. Guests

2. Call to Order

Mr. Washburn called the meeting to order at 3:08PM PT. He noted that Mr. Aizenman was absent with regrets.

3. Approval of Minutes

Mr. Strongin made and Mr. Washburn seconded the following motion:

BE IT RESOLVED to approve the minutes of the meetings on May 30, June 1, June 6, June 7, and August 16 as attached.

The motion passed unanimously.

(Secretary's Note: These minutes have all been posted on the [WWW]XDI.org Board of Trustees site.)

4. Format of Future Minutes

Mr. Aizenman has proposed via email the following motion regarding future minutes:

BE IT RESOLVED that from this point forward, the minutes of the XDI.org board of trustee meetings that are posted on the public XDI.org wiki website shall consist of an outline of the topics discussed, decisions made, and actions assigned, with the provision that any trustee may: 1) request that specific comments or remarks be recorded in the minutes, and 2) request in advance of the meeting that an audio recording of the meeting be made and also posted along with the minutes.

The trustees discussed the logistics and agreed that audio recording could be managed, however there may be the need for an executive session during a recorded meeting. It also may require significant advance planning and the need may not arise that often.

It was agreed to postpone further action on this item until Mr. Aizenman could attend the next meeting.

5. Policy Samples

Mr. Blackmer summarized the purpose and status of the attached four i-broker policy samples (Secretary's note: see the four documents posted under the I-Broker Policy Samples heading on the [WWW]XDI.org GSS website) developed by Brian Lewis and Mr. Blackmer, with thanks to Justine Hirsch who managed the project.

Mr. Blackmer also explained the disclaimer text at the start of each document that explains that these are only guidelines and that usage of these templates is completely up to the i-broker.

Mr. Strongin moved and Mr. Washburn seconded the following motion.

BE IT RESOLVED that the XDI.org Secretary is directed to post these i-broker policy samples to the XDI.org Global Services Specifications (GSS) wiki website.

The motion passed unanimously.

Mr. Reed to post the policies.

6. Resolution of Identity Commons EGS Program Contract Issue

Mr. Davis has forwarded to the trustees his correspondence with Cordance COO Lon Wiese. Mr. Davis summarized that there are three actions that need to be taken:

  1. To agree to the total amount due to Identity Commons.

  2. To enter into a new contract specifying the terms.

  3. To arrive at an agreement regarding the actual cash flow from Cordance.

The specific action items assigned were:

Mr. Davis to send a formal proposal of the financial terms to the trustees.

Following receipt of the above, Cordance will be asked to provide its perspective. The combinations of these two communications should provide the trustees with sufficient information to arrive at final terms regarding the Identity Commons contract.

Mr. Davis and Mr. Washburn will communicate with Cordance regarding Cordance’s current practice of withholding amounts due Cordance from both the standard XDI.org administrative fee and the $5.00 surcharge.

7. Next Meeting

It was agreed to hold one more meeting before the close of the year, with a particular aim of closing the Identity Commons contract issue.

Mr. Washburn and Mr. Reed to schedule this meeting.

8. Adjournment

Mr. Washburn adjourned the meeting by consensus at 4:02PM PT.

Respectfully Submitted,
