[Eg-oversight-board] Outstanding action items and a few questions

Tue Aug 30 08:59:09 EDT 2016

We could fully draft proposed changes for the Rules of Governance and add
in the proposed conflict of interest policy for review.  I think the
changes to Rules of Governance can be resolved fairly quickly and straight
forward but I agree that the SFC relationship is something that might be
best discussed in person.
