Agenda items:

ILC 2007 - N. Levine happily reports that we are 33% of the way to
our predetermined break-even point in registrations.  D. Rettig and
R. Corman each state that they will be registering fairly soon.

ILC 2007 Papers - JonL White and C. Shapiro are presently processing
the abstract submissions received.  Several of the abstracts are too
thin on substance, so the authors will be requested to provide more
information about the intended topics.  N. Levine volunteered to read
some papers during his upcoming trans-Atlantic flight, if he receives
the files in time to print them beforehand.

ILC 2007 Invited Speakers - JonL White has filled all but one of the
reserved time slots at this time.  He has one prospective speaker in
reserve, should a cancellation or other need arise.

ILC 2007 Tutorials - D. Rettig replies that he is on schedule for his
upcoming tutorial.  LISP tutorial topics mentioned during open
discussion included: garbage collection, math, and the perennial
favourite, introduction to LISP.

Contact with Erik Enge - N. Levine has been in contact, and after some
discussions with him, reported that some proposals to the board would
be forthcoming in the future as a result of these discussions.

D. Rettig moved to adjourn.  R. Corman seconded the motion.  The
motion passed unanimously.

Meeting adjourned at 22:33 UTC.
