David Peterson moved to nominate Don Boozer for another term as LCS Secretary.
Seconded by Doug Ball.
Motion passed unanimously.

Agenda Item 3: Discuss LCC5
David Peterson proposed breaking discussion into two parts: (1) Organizational, (2) Official Invitations

(1) Organizational
Peterson expressed concern with on-ground logistics and planning and requested more involvement from other board members.
Board members were encouraged to "send out feelers" for additional presenters.
A potential online/phone meeting for late January with on-ground Austin planners and members of board was proposed and Peterson will announce closer to time.

(2) Official Invitations
*Extensive* discussion on the feasibility and desirability of extending official invitations to "keynote speakers"
Discussion also concerned the "nature" of the LCC as an academic conference vs. community event or some hybride of the two.
Financial considerations were also discussed in conjunction with officially inviting speakers.
The issue was finally decided to be tabled and discussed through email by the Board of Directors.

Adjourn
David Peterson adjourned the meeting at 23:03:35 UTC/GMT
