MINUTES OF MEETING ON 25 APRIL 2009

ATTENDANCE: J. A. Corneli, J. C. Painter, R. S. Puzio

Since a two-thirds majority is required to amend the
bylaws but two out of the five directors were not
present, those present decided that a vote would be
held on changing the name of the organization from
"The Noosphere Research Institute, Inc." to "The
Novel Research Institute, Inc." by correspondence.

No further business was transacted since it was decided
to adjourn the meeting and reconvene at a date when
all could attend.

ADDENDUM: Two days later, on 27 April, all the ballots
were recieved.  The board voted unanimously to change
the name of the corporation.
