Thanks Rafik

Not sure much was agreed except that we need to deal with it and we are 
running out of time.

First we had the timeline from Greg before the meeting, which was not 
really discussed further.  Then we had some general discussion about the 
need to do something on the Board selection process. People voiced their 
views on different aspects of the process and there was concern over the 
timeline, but we did not really decide anything (others please jump in 
as I may have missed some important aspects).   Markus announced he 
wanted to continue in the role; I announced I was going to run.  Then 
the CSG proposal for a process was circulated on Thurs AM.  There seemed 
to be general agreement that the CSG proposal was not ideal.

I think the key immediate thing is us agreeing a process and timeline 
for nominations and getting that announced, so at least the initial 
stages of the process are underway.

Matthew
