Minutes

Present: Lambert, Ian, Dirk, Mario

Mario to make minutes.

Board-private list: Mails regarding key persons list.

Infrastructure Hosting

This item was accepted as urgent business.

Mario: A team (basically as part of the software team) has put forward the task of infrastructure separation. Currently some hosting / housing options are evaluated. To move forward board is asked for the input. Does board want this project to move on? How should the contracts be arranges: Does CAcert Inc. want to be contractor or do we prefer another entity like secure-u e.V.? Does CAcert want to pay for it or do we prefer having sponsors?

Intentions so far suggest that all non-critical systems are taken out of BIT and plans include secure-u e.V. as contract party and sponsors for paying for the service. Systems which are critical / non-critical are defined in SP and documented at https://wiki.cacert.org/SystemAdministration/Systems .

As location currently Funkfeuer housing is discussed or a Serverhosting provider who provides the hardware. For Housing (Funkfeuer) we would need a local contact who can get physical access to the server. A Rootserver will be able to be managed completely remotely and if that is not possible (hardware breaks) the provider will care for it. However, the latter may be more expensive. Costs are between 40 and 90 EUR per Month.

Mario moved that board supports the infrastructure seperation project to find hosting for CAcerts non-critical infrastructure seperated from the hosting which is defined under SP for critical systems. Seconded by Lambert. Passed as m20111113.3.

Mario moved that CAcert Inc. prefers not to be contractor for infrastructure hosting and encourages the project team to liase with organisations like secure-u e.V. to be party of the contract. Seconded by Lambert. Passed as m20111113.4.

Mario moved that CAcert Inc. encourages the project team to find sponsors for funding the project. Seconded by Lambert. Passed as m20111113.5.

Thawte Mailing

Motion passed. Mails are not sent out yet. Teams still have to figure out how to send out this many mails.

Question time

Rule change proposals by Ulrich

An issue was raised, that we might not be able to change rules unless they are in full compliance with the new association act. The rule changes try to get the new rules in compliance with the new act.

It was noted that CAcert Inc. is a tier 2 association, meaning no external audit for the financial report is needed.

Closing

Next meeting will be on sunday 13, 21.00 GMT.
