October ED Report
The board is happy with progress in October.

Budget presentation
Stefano did a recap of the strategic priorities and how that informs the budget. An evaluation grid was also presented. One of the priority areas that may need more time to define the process is the Lexicon: Stefano asked for more input / help from the board. Megan and Aeva suggested we learn from IEEE/IETF folks who have led similar processes. We discussed feasibility of providing CLEs as an incentive to reach legal community. Tracy points out that the budget draft is missing a forecast for FY22 EOY operating expenses (draft only includes projected year total, while multiple positions open mid-year): Stefano will update the budget draft and include the shortfall in projected FY22 EOY cash balance, and email to board members before the next meeting. The goal is to pass this budget in December. Stefano will make himself available for 1:1s with directors not present.

Quorum was reached and meeting called to order at 16:21 UTC
