Reports:

    Web Site: H. Eide-Goodman had nothing to add since the last report
    owing to the fact that he could not log in.

    Financial: R. Johnson will finish the report and mail to the board
    prior to next meeting.  After review and acceptance by the board,
    he will publish it as a PDF for general consumption.

    ILC 2009: E. van Waning reports that there has been some email
    traffic amongst the chairs and other board members.  Guy Steele has
    officially accepted the position of Program Chair.  We need to get
    some more firm dates than "spring break" for 2009.
    -- Planning on having a track for undergrads.  Trying to get the
    word out to students for papers.  Jeff Shrager was suggested as a
    possible point of contact.
    -- Also considering having an "About the ALU" meeting as well as
    offering time for vendor presentations, especially our sponsors.
    -- Guy Steele is currectly working on a call for papers.

Old Business:

    ILC Planning: Consider having a separate program chair for student
    papers.  Final decision will rest with Guy Steele, depending on
    whether he wants to take that load on too.

    ILC 2007 closure: D. Rettig will write the final report to ACM as
    this is time sensitive.  Duane replied that he doesn't know what is
    required.  E. van Waning stated that he did not know the
    requirements either.  It was suggested that Duane contact
    C. Shapiro and/or J.L. White.

New Business:  None.

The meeting adjourned at 22:48 following the motion by D. Rettig which
was quickly seconded by R. Johnson.  The motion passed unanimously.
