From FamilySearch Staff

 * Nothing more than the nav box discussion posted to the agenda by Steve. We would like to spend the entire hour discussing the issues and possible solutions. Therefore, I propose that no other agenda items be added. Rather than having an open-ended discussion, we need to have this discussion based upon specific items. Therefore, I will be adding discussion points as I see issues are identified in the forum thread. --Fran 18:23, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
