   1. Executive Director's Update (Shelley Robinson)
      
      With the focus of the meeting to review and discuss the pricing strategy, rather than a full ED report Shelley provided a brief update. One of the highlights of the update was that the new office PBX was up and running using dedicated VOIP lines. There should be notable cost savings with the new setup.  
       
   2. Pricing Strategy Update (Shelley Robinson)
      
      The Executive Director provided updated modeling for the pricing strategy discussion. Following considerable discussion and also the news by Shelley of the impending changes to some of our 2016 wholesale pricing and its effect on the draft budget, it was decided that that Shelley will look at further refinements and the pricing strategy discussion will continue at the next Board meeting.

After the discussion it was decided to defer any action on this item to the next board meeting when additional board members may be attending.
