Minutes

Notes

(This meeting is a continuation of the previous meeting.)

Present: Alexander, Dirk, Ian, Lambert, Mario, Piers.

Comments by chair:

  1. Let's keep the topics to items we can decide on, and try to do most of the research in email chat. This way we can make progress in between meetings.
  2. We sometimes get topics where it is not clear what is requested. We can then check what the issue is by asking the person who introduced the topic, or delay till next meeting and hope that it's clear by then. Otherwise meetings take too long.

Late added item 2.5 seems to be an FYI, for which more information is needed. Needs a proposal with background, cost overview, caveats, specific questions to board, and a decision to either go forward or not.

2 Business

Open topics remaining:

2.1 Audit

The team leaders are still discussing audit items internally, and there is no decision required of the board so far.

2.2 Finance report

No decision needed by board.

2.3 New member

Already accepted offline by motion m20111009.2.

2.4 Newsletter about new points calculation

Points raised in newsletter checked. Email to members needs to be sent as this is a major change.

Motion: that we allow the PR group to send out an email to all members regarding the new points calculation carried.

The final version needs to be accepted by the board before being allowed to be sent.

3 Questions

Call for board candidates

A Call for candidates will go out with notification to members once the board report is complete.
