  • Operational oversight, including approval of the annual budget, significant expenditures, and member fees
  • Process oversight, including adoption of specifications, establishment of groups and committees, and approval of new specification work
  • Strategic oversight, including approval of future plans, governing documents, and key agreements

The board meets face-to-face once per quarter and via phone monthly. If you would like to see the details of all the board minutes, please visit our board minutes archive.
