* Direct Foundation marketing and communication efforts through events, press and analyst outreach, web, social and other marketing efforts.

* Assist in fundraising and financial governance overall.

* Read and respond to board emails, particularly votes. The Board attempts to accomplish working sessions and votes between meetings over email, so that meeting time is saved for items which require live discussion.

* Review monthly meeting minutes. The Board is required to take minutes. These are captured by The Linux Foundation and distributed prior to each call. Directors should review these and make comments and clarifications as needed.
3737
* Participate in special meetings and committees. There are a few special committees which meet quarterly, including the audit and finance committee. Also, the Board may hold working sessions from time to time. Directors are expected to participate as they are able.
