Minutes

1 Preliminaries

1.1 Opening

Present: Dirk, Michael, Peter, Tomáš, Werner

Meeting chaired by Werner.

1.2 Minutes of the last meeting

Minutes from the 20130512 meeting accepted by m20130527.1.

1.4 Disclosure of private communication

No traffic on cacert-board-private to disclose.

1.5 Potential agenda items from mailing list

No relevant topics identified.

1.6 Action items

No discussion.

2 Business

2.1 Oophaga closing down

The relevant agreements (MoU and BIT contracts) are in SVN under https://svn.cacert.org/CAcert/CAcert_Inc/hosting/.

Dirk will ask Mark (Oophaga) for clarification of hardware ownership (according to MoU the hardware is owned by Oophaga). New updated MoU should be created between secure-u and CAcert; Dirk will handle this after next secure-u meeting.

Oophaga does not have any employees, so it looks it's only the hardware and hosting contracts that need to be transferred. According to Mark everybody involved (Access Engineers) will continue to do their work.

The BIT contracts are in Dutch only, Dirk will ask about an English version/translation.

2.2 New Roots & Escrow project

In previous meetings Board decided to move the topic to the mailing lists for broader discussion of possible alternatives. This has not happened yet, Tomáš will post a summary to initiate the discussion ASAP.

2.3 End of FY approaching

From experience the Financial Report is the main stumbling block and it cannot be started before the end of FY, so no action regarding AGM preparation taken yet.

3 Question time

No questions were asked.

4 Closing

Dirk can't make it on the next regular date (Sunday 2013-06-09) so after short discussion Board agreed to shift the next meeting a week forward and hold it on Sunday 2013-06-16 at 09:00 UTC. The meeting following that will take place as usual, that is on Sunday 2013-06-23 at 09:00 UTC.
