- Just before the meeting, the membership will vote for its initial Steering Committee (see 2006 Steering Committee Election and 2006 Steering Committee Nominations). The election result and winners will be announced at the meeting.

Agenda
The agenda can be found at 2006 October Members Meeting Agenda.
Who can attend
Official members (i.e., companies that have signed and submitted the Members Agreement) and invited guests (such as outside speakers) can attend the meeting. Members are strongly encouraged to attend. This will be an important meeting.
This meeting represents the kick-off event for Alliance activities under the terms of our new Members Agreement. We are drawing a line in the sand regarding intellectual property agreements starting with this meeting, where as of October 5, 2006 all participation in Alliance activities will be covered by the terms of the Members Agreement. Companies that have not completed the signature and approval processes for the Members Agreement will be treated an non-Members and thus not allowed to attend the meeting except as "invited guests" (see below). Furthermore, companies that have not signed the Members Agreement will have their access to the wiki removed before start of business on Oct 5, 2006.
We may have some invited guests who will come to the meeting to present to the Membership. The invited guests will only join the meeting during the time when they are presenting. At the beginning of the time when the invited guest is in the room, there will be an announcement stating that Members must be careful about what they say because discussion during that period of time involves participants who have not committed to our IP policy.
Dial-in
We plan to have a polycom in the room and have the meeting dial into the following number:
- 1-888-227-9220, Passcode: 871757
There are no guarantees about the quality of the conference call.
Steering Committee Election
The election of the initial Steering Committee will happen just before the face-to-face meeting. Details can be found at 2006 Steering Committee Election and 2006 Steering Committee Nominations. The election results and winners (i.e., the companies that will be on the initial Steering Committee) will be announced at the start of the meeting.
