Public Action on the Special Meeting Action Items may be taken.

Motion: The Board acknowledges that all parties involved in the current Mantipedia wiki dispute have acted out of a desire to improve TRMN and better serve its members. Such efforts, however, must be coordinated through established organizational channels. Accordingly, the Board affirms that organization-wide wiki content shall be maintained through the official TRMN wiki under BuComm. Tenth Fleet may maintain a fleet-specific wiki, provided organization-wide content is referenced by hyperlink to the official TRMN wiki rather than separately maintained or duplicated. The Board further encourages the parties involved to work cooperatively toward reconciliation and future collaboration, with the Executive Vice President serving as mediator as necessary.
