Strategic planning and resource allocation

• suitable fund management mechanism

recently we made good steps already on this path, so maybe time is right to finish this

this may help to increase the cooperation with existing partners as Novell and IBM

Relations with sponsors and the public

• feedback, etc. to Sun on legal, business
• the known issues on trademark and related

Arbitration within the greater OpenOffice.org Community

• Create new Projects
• support regional communities regional use and development and education
• dismiss inactive Projects

Growing the community

• bring more visibility on the individual contributors
• vision on what "the community" is and in what direction we like it to develop
• collaborating with people who do great work for developing OOo but who do not use our infrastructure

The CC itself

• better handling of tasks agreed upon;
• better involvement in discussions;
• Regular CC meeting

CC members are obliged to attend regular CC meetings
CC members prioritize regular CC meetings over anything else
