1. Should the June Summit be Webcast? 
This should only be done if Web casting fits with an agreed public relations
strategy. 
So far, we do not an agreed public relations strategy. 
There is also an open issue, whether the Web casters available to the
general public (eg put it on you tube), or only to members. 
We also have to persuade a member to bear the cost of production. 
Decision deferred, pending further work in other areas. 

Next action: Deborah Sass to write a short suggestion for the next heartbeat
conference call.

2. Kendra Structure 
It was agreed that we should be able to explain the membership structure and
operating structure of Kendra at the next summit. Allen Mornington-West to
get his paper on the wiki, or circulate it. 
Chris Cook has a proposal regarding the use of limited liability
partnership. 
Daniel suggested ideas should be posted on the Kendra Structure page.
Next action: Chris, Daniel and Farook are all interested in discussing a
draft in the coming week. 

3. Use Cases
Mark Stuart has been very busy, but intends to put up a use case Template
based on a work that he and Allen did two years ago, with some alterations
and improvements. 
Next action: Mark to load the template with a guidance paper. Use Daniel's
template in the short term, switch to Mark's.

4. Peer-To-Peer 
Mark Stuart would like to get Kendra or involved in the peer-to-peer project
as a participant. The deadline for this is 8th May. 
Next action:  Mark will prepare a wiki page on the subject this week.

5. Operating Structure
Andress suggested the Kendra should raise money to pay some body to do this
work. Alan pointed out that this is one of many ways to ensure continuity
and progress. The way we adopt needs to fit into the governance platform. 
Next action:  Decision deferred, pending further work in other areas. 


6. Networking And Outreach

networking within the Kendra membership base
