Governance: Bob confirmed the distribution of the Code of Conduct with attached protocols (attached).

There was also a discussion of a document that Richard had written regarding the Role of the Board. The spirit of the statement is to keep the board’s role at the executive level. It was decided to consider this statement as a working definition of the role of the board, perhaps for future adoption in a more formal way.
