1st, wonderful to meet many Agora people and it was a huge highlight to my day. Now, on to business, and I have missed a few things for sure, or did not bother as many are already known, so here is my list:

Mtg in 4 parts:

A: corp governance

B: FF Presentation

C: RP comments

D: Q&A

Here we go:

A:

• 2:00 til 2:07, and proxy vote passed

B:

FF presentation,

• digecor deal had many biz plans on hold


• down economy hurt eVU sales


• airline deals in the works, 1 USA a done deal, 1 in trial, total = 3, news to follow


• 9/30/09, debt = 96,900 and debt as of "today" zero


• staff reduced by 40% since Mar-08


• burn rate reduced from 250K to 150K


• WAEA mtgs were successful, future customers to be announced


• MEZZO still a major partner, trials in process that could result in large PO's


• opened 2 additional eVU repair centers in the UK & France, re: MEZZO


• eVU service contracts growing with increased product sales, and margin growing


• service contracts range in monthly revs between $5K to $14K, depending on the customer and content upgrade cycle


• economy down cycle hurt efforts in healthcare, cruise lines and rental car biz


• DM CO 19 wanting to settle and be done with it...faster pace expected, some have already come to the table


• 2:32, FF done

C:

RP, set the stage for Q&A re: legal reasons, company strategy etc...very well done I might add!!

• as revs ramp up, company will consider divs to SH's or share buyback...all options are open


• concerning patents re: 1st 7, zero prior art an issue...patents strong


• we are still in tier 1, tier 2 will include removable or embedded infringement, and will be the bigger players


• Markman not a goal for all of the 19 or future...maybe 1 or 2, but it takes 3 years or more to "get a check"


• patents proven strong to date re: tier 1...nobody chose to fight us to date


• "price of 2nd round is round 1"


• out of debt for 1st time in EDIG's history


• IP efforts to be an 18 month to 5 year time frame

D: the answers

• divs or share buyback being considered, and a reverse split highly unlikely


• again, NO PRIOR ART FOUND RE: 1ST 7


• actively working on signing law firm #2 to handle DM conflict cases


• 5000+ eVU's now out there and growing


• RP felt a PR firm was not needed, and he will be our voice to attract new investtors etc


• 174 ID's # still about the same from day 1...a few dropped...a few added


• "raise the bar" means we will be asking for higher settlements


• Here's a good one: Per RP..."I think there will be some surprises in round 2"
  

I don't have time for questions...just being a reporter, and I'm sure I missed may points, but these are the key one's IMO.

Dischino

I have been contacted repeatedly by many members, on two hubs where I am a HL. Several of the members who have communicated this via PM's or email, are also HL's on both boards, and I have raised this issue before, as other HL's have, such as drandres.

The bottom line is, HL's on both hubs, and we are not alone, see added votes immediately after a new member joins, and the scores are dropping. Personally, being a Pres vs VP re: star votes, has zero effect on me, nor does it strip me of any tasks or duties as a HL. It's a title....OK......

However, it is important to many HL's to have the Pres status as a measure of their contribution to the hub.

Many of the new members, who immediately vote down a HL's score, end up getting a slew of violations and eventually banned for not following the 6 rules. Many "newbies" come here with an agenda to disrupt the forums, and Agoracom is well aware of this problem.

Solution that would help but not cure the situation, is not allow voting rights until reaching the Treasurer Rank. By then, enough posts will have been made to see if the new member is "legit" or here to cause trouble.

Admin management, to include GT himself, has told me Agoracom has tools in place that can detect malicious patterns of 1 star voting, but it seems to me, IMO, monitoring such tactics would be labor intensive and not practical for an employee to mess with that often. Raising the bar to Treas Rank before one could vote would solve most of peoples concerns.

I have had no less than 50 members contact me about this in 2010.

Please consider this request, and thank you in advance.
