DSPP
Standard OS release tapes plus power patch bundles are all that are delivered -- not individual patches. M. Perdue reports he's been struggling to get tapes from HP. It appears there is no one left within the DSPP group that know about MPE. P. Edwards suggested that M. Perdue contact Alvina Nishimoto.

Encompass
C. Ciesinski talked to Nina Buick. He was given the name of the person handling content. They're interested in having MPE sessions. The call for papers went out last week. The Board is still not impressed with Encompass' interest in the MPE. GHRUG seems like a better conference for OpenMPE to focus on. C. Ciesinski to call content person and report back to the Board.

MPE Certification
P. Edwards exchanged emails with Rich Gossman regarding MPE certification. He didn't know much about anything relating to MPE. M. Pavinen finally got involved and stated that CSY is too busy to get involved due to the support extension. P. Edwards will periodically check back for any progress.

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