Meeting w/ HP
M. Pavinen is still trying to get T&M people to say what HP is willing to pay for down hardware repair. M. Pavinen to send PSA to P. Edwards and B. Foster within the week. Amount is for $7000 (5k + 2k) because HP wants OpenMPE to conduct another user poll. M. Pavinen also asked if OpenMPE would hire a consultant to do the independent review -- $4000/4-days. B. Foster said without a statement of work, he can't make a decision either way.

Martin
M. Gorfinkel will start attending and eventually take over the meetings with HP. We need a way for him to report back to the Board. Do we add him to the Board's mailing list? Do we establish another
mailing with the board and Martin? Do we have him e-mail his reports to B. Foster and for him to forward to the board?

Unless otherwise noted, all resolutions were carried by the unanimous vote of all members present.
