I'd be happier to do most of my bits by email. 

1) the Council report to members meeting can be seen at http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/Talks/2013-10-tei/CouncilReport.xml
As (at least) Syd can confirm, I duly delivered this report to the assembled masses, but didn't get any feedback
that  I need to bring here, I think. 

2) I also attended the Board meeting on behalf of James. I have fed back some things to him. Lou can confirm, but
I believe the things relevant to Council now are as follows:

*) The Board want us to consider running a TEI Hackathon to get developers together to show what one can if one has decent TEI markup. John Unsworth suggested that,
for example, we could base this around using the d3.js library to visualize TEI material. We need to debate this. I was supportive of the idea.

*) We need another Council discussion about what a "P6" in the broadest sense would mean. Board asks us to have a brain-storming discussion. More blue-sky thinking. 
Do we need to look again at a Dagstuhl workshop about TEI The Next Generation? (no Deep Space TEI, I thank you)

*) Marjorie B wants us to adopt more cheatsheets (aka Best Practice documents). Add this to agenda for f2f?

*) there was a general discussion about how to put a paper or session into DH2014 about why the TEI still matters. I think
Elena is taking this forward, but if others want to get involved, they can talk to her.
