* Setup WebCOM mailing list, and get committee members on it!  (From Frank)

* Ensure that WebCOM members can update all appropriate web pages (ie. osgeo.org, webcommittee.osgeo.org, board.osgeo.org, etc).
 
−
* the "Foundation Officers" and "Board Members" menu items both go to the board members list.  I would you contract this to one menu item (Board and Officers) and list them all in one page.  It isn't that long a list.  The Officers are "President: Frank Warmerdam", "Treasurer: Gary Lang", "Secretary: Rich Steele".
 
−
* Please do populate the Committees page.  I have already done some minimal work on the Incubator committee page (incubator.osgeo.org). You should do at least as much for WebCOM.  Please encourage or provide support to Arnulf to do the same for the promotions committee.
 
−
* I would prefer not to have anything on the web site about sponsors or sponsorship till after we have a sponsorship program worked out.  So, please remove the sponsorship.html page too.

* Fix the SSL Certificate issue when entering the site (maybe don't use always https?)
 
−
* Don't put the word "final" after the FAQ on governance.html.  It is not final.  It is just official.  And we don't need to add that because it is on the official web site.
 
−
* Yipee!  I am pleased about the membership list.  I would like to see a comment here that we are working on the associate membership process or something to that effect.
 
−
* In the FAQ change I think we should be removing "In line with the do-acracy, those who contribute to the foundation goals will be recognised in the future with voting memberships." It is premature for us to say this, and in any event most people who contribute to the goals will not get voting memberships unless we accept many thousands of voting members.
 
−
* Please put the bylaws under Corporation Documents.  They are finalized in the wiki.  Leave out Articles of Incorporation till we have them.
 
−
* I think sooner rather than later we should have an “About the Foundation” or “About OSGeo” link in the left hand box of the current home page template (i.e., delete the "Foundation Meeting Docs" link and replace it with an "About OSGeo" link).  The landing page for this link would essentially be the hub where all information about the foundation, legal and IP policies (including forms of contributor agreements), corporate records (articles of incorporation and bylaws), board meeting archives, annual member meeting archives, etc.  I've put together a mocked up sample landing page for the "About OSGeo" link here --> [[About OSGeo Sample Page]]
