Thanks for posting these. This set also has this in it, "expand the 
Mission (???)" and that's highlighted in yellow. It seems like they 
really are pretty drafty minutes.

I've been the Secretary of the PNB Governance Committee for the 4 years 
of is existence. I've got all minutes of all meetings posted. And it's 
been annoying to me to see some notation on some official Pacifica 
Foundation Web site saying that the minutes for that committee just 
aren't there. I could easily post them if only I could be given 
permission to get them to the site(s). I tried couple of years ago and I 
just did not have the password or access to do it. And yet there was 
some Web page on that official site saying that the minutes of the 
Governance Committee meetings were not available.

I'll also note that Pacifica is addicted to the narrow formats of the 
Microsoft products. And this is a problem.

My minutes are in "Rich Text Format," .rtf files. These files are cross 
platform readable and do not require that people purchase Microsoft's 
proprietary software to read a proprietary format, although all MS Word 
versions will read these files as will every other word processor I know 
about. I think that it would be good if Pacifica migrated away from the 
restrictive .doc and .xls formats and started getting into the more 
standard formats. But that's another battle.

I would certainly link to minutes of PNB meetings and maybe even to 
minutes of PNB committee meetings. I might consider posting the minutes 
themselves on my Web site if there were a bunch available and if no one 
lese posted them.

On the WBAI LSB we are still waiting to see the draft minutes of the 
March 16, 2006, LSB meeting. About 3 or 4 sets of minutes between then 
and now have been submitted and a couple sets approved, but we were 
missing about 25 sets of draft minutes the last time I counted.
