The next meeting will be held at 22:00 UTC on April 2, 2009, by
mutual agreement.

D. Rettig moved to accept the minutes of February 5, 2009 and
R. Johnson seconded the motion.  The motion passed without dissent.

Unapproved Board Minutes - The board needs to get them approved by
ILC'09.  The President expressed his frustration at the board for not
rising to this task as it should.  The Secretary has agreed to
shepherd the approvals closely over the next two weeks.

ILC'07 Status - Tabled to allow JonL White to report.

ILC'09 Questions for the board from the General Chair - Dan Weinreb
asks the board whether it would like to add a flyer to the outgoing
materials for the attendees, and whether it would like a table for use
at the conference.  After discussion, it was agreed that we will put
together a flyer, hopefully in time for distribution.  We would also
like a table to use at the conference for providing information about
tht ALU.  The President will convey these answers to Dan Weinreb via
email after this meeting.

Financial Statement - R. Johnson has collected the relevent data and
will be presenting the statement within a few days.

ILC'09 - Dan Weinreb sent a detailed written report around.  The
conference is well in hand and already well above the breakeven mark,
with 146 registrants.

ALU website report - Nick Levine continues doing great work.  The
conference website is up and running.  Nick has used 74 of the 100
hours approved by the board.  He sees the conference will be done
easily with a fair bit left over from the remaining time.
Nick recommends that the board use his time to update the website
membership code to mirror the conference registration code.  He
estimates "a day or so" to complete this.  This was met with general
agreement by the board.  Nick also reminds of two outstanding issues:
the ALU wiki, and the old ALU website material.

Kuroda Hisao asks what should be done with the DVD's in his
possession, containing video recordings of one of the previous
conferences, probably 2002 or 2003.  E. van Waning suggests that he
email Dan Weinreb about distributing them at this year's conference.

R. Johnson  moves to adjourn.  D. Rettig seconds.  Motion passes.
The meeting adjourned at 23:06 UTC.

Peter Lindahl
   ALU Secretary
