The December 15th meeting was supposed to be a review of the ToIP Technology Architecture V1.0 Specification to analyze what it means for the ToIP Governance Stack. However it turns out Drummond has a conflict with a trip to see John Jordan, his team, and other ToIP members in Victoria BC on Thursday and Friday Dec 15/16. This meeting will be done instead in January.
