1. Approval of Agenda

2. Approval of Minutes
   - June 18/20 (including also Oct 19 E-vote to support CUPC-2020)

3. Finance Report (Greg)
   a) status of NSERC account and projection to March 31, 2021
   b) update on member invoices paid to date

4. Executive Director Report (Garth)
   a) Update on Financial Review
   
   b) Proposed budget for FY21

   -- Greg can sign off at this point, if he wishes

   c) Undergraduate Research Scholarships (URS)
      - 5 year budget passed last year listed $30k for 6x$5k scholarships, and
        another $5.6k for travel supplements
      - propose an application deadline of Monday, March 1
      - need a motion to approve
      - need members for selection committee

  d) Graduate Fellowship
     - you might recall this is a new initiative proposed in last year's NSERC
       application.  5 year budget passed last year listed one scholarship/year
       starting in FY21.  I suggest $12k.  If the program is successful, after
       1-2 years, we can decide to offer more than one scholarship if the
       program is successful, and the budget permits.
     - the only other time CINP offered a grad fellowship (2013), the
       application deadline was late March, so assuming we do something
       similar, propose a deadline of Monday, March 29
     - one issue to discuss is how to implement any EDI component.
     - need a motion to approve
     - need members for selection committee

   -- if the meeting is getting too long, we can stop here and reconvene in 2-4
      weeks to deal with the remaining matters
