- What are we using Saleforce for?
2. Future of IT support

Vote Required:
1. Are we going to have a financial review for 2008. The cost is 5K. Suggestion is to skip the annual review and have full review every 3 years.
2. What to do with invoices over 1 year old. Send to collections? Write off? Current balance is $2900
3. Do we charge Local chapters processing fees for the 60/40 split. Currently we do not. Proposal is to pass along the transaction fees too the chapter for paypal processing.
4. Should we invest $2500 to support an OWASP meet up at Blackhat
5. GPC - Send 'Individual Committee Member' online form [1]
