 * Open membership, first order of business is to confirm chair and secretary of group (We can get this setup and discuss on the lists now, so we are running when we get to the Summit)
 * Dinis, Paulo suggested that working groups will produce OWASP Initiatives, Statements, Decisions.
 * OWASP Initiatives, Statements and Decisions can be distributed in electronic form prior to the Summit or a Working Group assembly.
 * Additionally, time should be allocated for anything new at the actual Working Group assembly. (Again, we can get the ball rolling on this now and have discussion and motion at Summit).
