To elaborate, this particular task force recommendation was called to my 
attention shortly before I completed my term as chair, but we did not 
have an opportunity to put it on the agenda in that brief window. I 
relayed it to Ting as part of our transition of responsibilities, so it 
has been passed along, and no doubt people are welcome to inquire as to 
its current status. But since I'm no longer privy to board 
deliberations, I can't provide much insight on its perceived priority 
relative to the larger strategic issues facing the board.
