This meeting is a continuation of the liaison between the Governing Board and Forum Chairs & Vice-Chairs, aimed at improving and maintaining good communication between Board and Forums so as to better align the activities in the Forums with the strategic direction of The Open Group. The 1st meeting was held during the April 2005 conference, and the 2nd during the July 2005 conference.

The agenda in this meeting will focus on receiving feedback on the lessons learned and proposals for improvements arising from the initiative in New York City (July 2005), where the Architecture, Security, and Management Forum Chairs met with the Governing Board, and for each forum a Board Member and the Forum Chair took an action to work together to tune their recommendations into best practical forms.
