Greetings, 

Due to the holiday and the camps yesterday, seems that today might not be the best day to hold a governance call. 

Let's reschedule for 7PM EST - 4PM on Tuesday. 

In addition - if you have any notes or which to contribute to the notes here - please edit before then:

Save the Date: We do want people to save the date to be in Washington DC on March 6-7, 2010 for a CrisisCommons Strategic Planning Forum. We are working on how this event will take place but I wanted to share with you the date for planning purposes. This event will be a two-day planning meeting to further develop the concept, governance and operational framework of the Commons. 

Call for Leads: We do have a need for formal project managers within the Governance Team.
