1.6 Action items

Werner needs to update these

2 Business

2.1 Late Business

• 2.5 Officer roles
• 2.6 Case a20140422.1 under seal
• Accepted.

2.2 Update subcommittee

There has been no change and we are still short of AU members.

2.3 Move CAcert Inc. to another country

• Jürgen is updateing byelaws - Expected soon
• Need the byelaws, probably in English as well to progress policy changes

2.4 Documentation Officer

• Apparently Eva had found a possible candidate for this role and felt it necessary that she had support in her role as Policy Officer
• Board felt it was necessary to define the role better than it had been, bearing in mind the decision to remove the role as it was felt to be unnecessary
• BenBE proposed a "job description"

   1. The Document officer manages documentation available to all the teams
   2. The Document officer coordinates efforts on imporiving, altering or consolidating documentation accross teams
   3. The document officer may advise or instruct teams on providing clarification on documentation.

• Board basically liked this - Alex amended it to remove the "or instruct" from the third clause which was also accepted.
• There was some discussion on transation being something that might need to be considered in this role.

• Board also reviewed the wiki page on the role and Etienne offered to write a new "job description" based on the old and the new.

• Board voted to reinstate the role but to keep it "in abeyance" until the role is defined
• It was noted that it was difficult to identify quite what Eva expected board to do or how an appointee might help her.

2.5 Removed officer roles

• Board felt that no further action was needed - if the roles are seen as being needed, they can be reinstated later.

2.6 Case a20140422.1 under seal

• Board accepts that case a20140422.1 and any intermediate rulings may be kept under seal until the final ruling is issued at which point the seal will be reviewed.

3 Questions

• Etienne needed to send a letter to Dominik and to arbitration - he said he'd get it done today (05-18)

4 Closing
