      • Gero volunteered to add them to the CAcert Members Mailing List.
      • There was a question about progress with the Blog Post. Brian responded that he had asked for help, but not had any responses, so was wondering whether his e-mail messages were getting through. Dirk offered to help, after this meeting.
      • Dirk brought up Permissions Review and some entries for people who were no longer in their positions. Discussion about ownership and responsibility for maintenance ensued.
