<p>It is not quite clear from this if the attempt to regularize
Dorotheas employment situation has fizzled out, been given up, or
been dropped because of the general OSM philosophies (which are
all new to me).</p>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div>Sometimes the Board has a closed portion during the monthly
meeting. As well as explaining in advance why we plan them, we
want to publicly report on them as well. By nature, we can't
go into much detail.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>During the last meeting, this is what we decided during
the closed portion [1].</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We decided to extend Dorothea's contract, which was due to
expire soon, and to examine possible future modifications to
her contract with an eye to retaining Dorothea's valuable
services while minimizing overhead costs, in keeping with the
general OSM philosophies of fairness, economy, and cost
containment. <br>
