Drummond Reed asked if there's a set of Advisory Committees? Bryn Robinson-Morgan said that we should align them to the WGs, but we need to figure out the structure for this is we see the value in it to implement. Drummond Reed agrees that this is a great option and Judith Fleenor mentioned that she's received feedback that she's heard from our larger SC groups that these Advisory groups will help enable value to future members. Judith Fleenor asked if we can resolve this bump in membership fees if there are no objections. She will send them out via email and then within seven days, if there are no objections, then we can proceed with implementing these changes. Elisa Trevino will work with finance to get these implement in time for Identiverse to present and recruit future membership. Drummond Reed stated that he's comfortable with the new changes, but asked for clarification regarding how soon these new changes can be implemented and Judith Fleenor mentioned that they will remain at the same rate for current members and then would be implemented for the new members in the current year. John Jordan thanked everyone for their assistance and support. He asked if there are any changes or considerations we need to take into account from a JDF perspective. Judith Fleenor mentioned that we should not have any issues, but that we'll need to update our policies and procedures to move forward. John Jordan mentioned that the JDF terms include some details regarding the WG terms and that may impact the "Advisory Role" position. Judith Fleenor mentioned that we will review these together. John Jordan asked for clarification on the "sponsorship" options for the smaller groups. and Judith Fleenor mentioned we can leverage the Crowd Funding element for that piece. He went on to mention concern regarding that dedicating specific funds to specific activities may be tricky as it may be difficult to track. Bryn Robinson-Morgan agrees that we review the wording correct to eliminate any confusion but gives us enough flexibility to use the funds as we need. Wenjing Chu asked about the sponsorship and advisory details are not in the resolution and he is in support, but he asked that we send a document that details all of the items we've discussed here today and Judith Fleenor said that she will update the document that details just membership benefits, structure and new fees that are included in the resolution. John Jordan also mentioned that we should clarify the changes in 2024 as they increase over the course of the next two years. Judith Fleenor mentioned that we can clarify via the wording so that members understand this needs to be voted on again next year before another rate increase.
