All,
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The board accepted our recommendations for platform & component program at the last meeting. The existing capabilities were divided between object (both object- tests) and the compute (all the rest).
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div id="ox-signature">
We are going to take up the designated sections proposals next week. I talked with John Dickinson and I believe that we'll have a solid recommendation for all core projects by the board meeting. Please watch this list so that we can get quick review of the Swift sections.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Further, I'd like to recommend some changes to DefCore itself:
</div>
<div>
1) change to a Board working group - the Foundation will assign staff to assist in regular management of the process.
</div>
<div>
2) officially require Board co-chairs with rotating 2 year terms for continuity.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I'm planning to propose these changes at the board meeting next week and would like comment or support (+1s) for the recommendation.

Thanks,
<br />
<br />Rob
