- [ACTION] sabdfl to propose to CC that the TB is a CC delegate, and
- clarify his role
- Units Policy
- We discussed briefly whether to recommend that developers go ahead
- with implementation in advance of feedback from the Debian TC. The majority of the board preferred to wait for at least a while, since we've requested feedback and should wait for it, and since the benefit may not outweigh the cost of carrying another stack of patches.
- Check back on status next meeting.
- We discussed briefly whether to recommend that developers go ahead
- When is it a good idea to fail out of a maintainer script?
- While there is loose agreement that "something ought to be done"
- about this, the technical options are not yet clear enough to decide something at the TB level. Shelving for the moment; mdz will bring this up on ubuntu-devel if and when he gets the chance to put together some detailed options.

Execute Permission Policy (KeesCook)
- After some discussion, the TB ratified this policy
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Policies#Execute-Permission%20Bit%20Required) conditional on detailed feedback from the desktop team, including the unresolved question of what happens to existing handlers on upgrade. Mark's +1 was on the condition that we will have time to iterate implementation before Lucid or pull it entirely if it doesn't work out.
- After some discussion, the TB ratified this policy
- Check up on community bugs (standing item)
- The only item already has an associated action.
