Hi everyone,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I will be at the ECP PathForward semi-annual review at Livermore next week. My preferred proxy will be traveling with me and I do not think either of us will be able to make this vote. I am trying to find another person to proxy.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I will send any comments by tomorrow after reading the draft. </div>

PLEASE NOTE: <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b class="">The October Board Meeting is delayed by one week until OCTOBER 24<sup class="">th</sup></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>to allow folks time to read and comment on the draft
Bylaws. Accordingly, next Thursday’s meeting (October 17<sup class="">th</sup>) will be an XWG meeting devoted to beginning discussion any issues you may have with the draft.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

Notice the process to which we’ve agreed: The vote currently scheduled for OCTOBER 24<sup class="">th</sup><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>is to allow us to advance the DRAFT to legal and membership reviews. This is NOT the final vote. Following
the October 24<sup class="">th</sup><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>vote, there will be a review by the OFA’s legal counsel, and a membership review. <o:p class=""></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
The schedule shown allows two weeks for OFA legal counsel review, and one month for membership review. The membership review should include whatever internal review each member deems necessary, including any internal legal review.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
