			*Dissolve the Wilkins School Networking Committee. Document this process thoroughly so that WPLUG is not accused of improper conduct.
			*Dissolve the Newsletter Committee. Make the PR Committee responsible for producing a simple, newsletter-style monthly announcement with all of WPLUG's upcoming events.
			*Make the secretary an ex officio member of the PR Committee.
			*As long as WPLUG uses MediaWiki for its Web site, require all board members to have basic bio information in their user page
			*Rename the remaining committees so that their purpose is clear even to someone who hasn't read about them:

			* Internet Committee -> Technology Maintenance Committee
			* Program Committee -> Events Planning Committee
			* PR Committee -> Marketing & Communications Committee
			* Investigating Committee -> Disciplinary Committee

			*Create a WPLUG FAQ that answers common questions people have about our group
			*Create a page with pictures and biographies of board members so that people at our meetings can recognize them
			*Recommend that the Program Committee organize a DIY electronics event involving Arduino or Raspberry Pi: a hackfest or possibly a study group
			*Give WPLUG members a free WPLUG.org email account that forwards mail to an address of their choice.
			*Investigate programs that would give WPLUG members discounts.
			*Design a WPLUG membership card that includes how long a person has been a member.
			*Have membership cards printed in bulk at Moo.com on their NFC-enabled cardstock. NFC is cutting-edge technology, and this fits in with WPLUG's new vision.
			*Move WPLUG's meetings to a more "central" location in the heart of Pittsburgh. (The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh is a current front-runner since it would likely allow us to meet free of charge under certain circumstances. We are still investigating options.)
