In addition, it intends to bring CAcert to Europe in 2019 (preparations are underway to do it with no need to change policies). This means that there will be an SGM in the first half of 2019 anyway. Then it could be decided: - relocate and continue - or wind up. By then it should have become apparent whether we have got the finances under control.'' For possibilities, see: https://wiki.cacert.org/Brain/CAcertInc/Committee/MeetingAgendasAndMinutes/2018-03-01/ideas Secretary's pledge: ''"(if) each board member is willing to do about 10% more during this transition period (he has) time to prepare statutes (for Switzerland) and (prepare the) SGM."'' }}} {{{#!wiki caution Acceptance of Businesses 48 Hours before beginning of Committee Meeting latest! }}} 1.#2 Business 1.

Present: Brian, Etienne, Frédéric D, Frédéric G, Peter M Apologies: Ross, Peter N Missing: Guests: alex, decay, dops, egal, enyc, nb, nemunaire, SkarmoutsosV, Skeeper, Ted, ~GuKKDevel_log, @ChanServ, ynazarov, zerkalo At 22:02:44, the president opens the meeting. As for technical reasons the minutes are not shown in the wiki, they have to be aproved on July, 25th. '''Wiki notifications''' is an ongoing task done by Dirk and Etienne. The '''360K-Mail''' is waiting for an arbitrator. (after the meeting, the case manager tought, that there is no ruling needed, but at the same time an arbitrator steped in.) The secretary started with a manually newsletter to the Swiss Community. Furthermore he prepares the OrgA/School Project to push it during/after summer holiday (July/August). Getting '''funds''' should be a main topic for each for us for more than a year. Frédéric D is very active in this point to find funds for CAcert. * (1) The Social Tech Trust organization supports projects only for those ''located in the UK''. A talk over the phone with Theana Greenfield did not help more. * (2) The grant application to the Comcast Innovation Fund has been written and submitted. Bill Stander (US) copy wrote it. It has been submited on the 26th of June. * (2bis) The average delay for a decision from Comcast is "several month". * (3) Moritz Bartl, at the German based Renewable Freedom Foundation had some very kind words about CAcert. He is himself an assurer and the author of a (now obsolete) plug-in for Firefox. The correspondance by mail was shared with Brian. * (3bis) Moritz proposed, quoted: "If you want, I can try and pitch it to my contact at Ford Foundation. They supported much of the initial funding for Letsencrypt, and I think still funds it today, so it is not too far off." Brian will write to Moritz. * (3ter) The grant application prepared for Comcast has then be reused (you saw it on the Board mailing-list) and sent it to Moritz as a base for his pitch to Ford. * The numbers, Frédéric put in were: 30KUSD for upgrading our software platform, 5KUSD for attending fairs and events, 9KUSD for paying our hosting. The president had a couple of conversations with ISC.org. He will do some research on their web site and see if there are any indications that they might be open. Cisco, too. "At the moment, we don't seem to have a target, we will ask anybody for money." Alex (PR) thanks Frédéric D for providing with '''CAcert for Dummies'''. It is a lot of work. Alex and Frédéric D will talk about it soon. There will be a progress report at the End of July. Etienne has contact for PoD publishing and ISBN, Peter M can look at the English version. The booklet FD made is made of slides, in order to keep the amount of text at a minimum. Quicker to browse and easier to translate. Alex's text was much more, but graphical aspect is important to quick browse. lets see how i can shrink it. Or divide in a short overview followed by a second page with deeper information. '''Next Board''' (after the AGM in november), we have two resignations (Peter M, Frédéric G). So we need two new people. Brian wants to try to find someone who was interested in the past. In general, the secrtary proposes: Maybe it would be good if we could find an accountant or something like that. Who wouldn't have to attend the meetings, but would take care of the finances for a few years. (The participants remembers a board member that wants to help, but cannot attend meetings in the early Australian morning.) The treasurer points out, that the problem was the lack of continuity. It took time to find back all tools and late paperworks, now, it is more clear for the follower and he will give him a well founded introduction. 2.4.1. AGM 2019 is on the way (no news today) 2.4.2. '''Critical team''' is urgent, but it depends on 2.4.3 (and I did it not, shame on me). On the ohther hand side, last meeting we forgot the second part to get in touch with Arb (who) for new ABC in short time if we find someone (and finding someone). The president had a good talk with an Arbitrator recently, and tried to bring him up-to-date on the situation. The profile for critical team is * First: an ABC, then most work can be done by remote access, sometimes go to the Nerhterlands. and no CoI (internal!) * the secretary will check it with egal and read again, what wytze wrote him in the past and then share it [[https://wiki.cacert.org/SystemAdministration/CriticalTeam|with you]] '''Treasurer's report:''' * €1,768.80 EUR in Paypal, the only one I can manage * invoice 2018-2 of €1,324.09 for hosting period June 2018 to November 2018 * invoice 2019-1 of €1,349.27 for hosting period November 2018 to May 2019 * Westpac Community Solutions One $868.59 * Westpac Business Cach Reserve $2219.27 * 3000$ = 1800€ * total 3500€, two bills2700€, remaining 800€ When leaving this meeting, we will remaining with 800€ in our account. This is for about 3-4 months. Plus some annual fees for 2019... It is moved and accepted to pay the invoice 2018-2 of €1,324.09 for hosting period June 2018 to November 2018 with the funds from the pay pal account. Following Ted, there are no progress in '''software development'''. August 10/11: cacert will be present at FrOSCon fair between Köln and Bonn. Voluntary booth staff still searched for. https://wiki.cacert.org/Events/FrOSCon2019 Frédéric D prefers to have our meetings by Linphone, it would make our talks more fluid and the meeting more comfortable for all those wearing glasses. Some other participants attend the meeting while her partner are sleeping, from on the way or with a machine with no audio/video. Furthermore, with IRC, we have a log file. In small groups, voice is good, but if there are more than 3 participants, it becomes difficult and asks a lot of dicipline. '''Networking at CAcert''' is terribly difficult. I know nearly nobody except you, guys. And many times, I know you only through your nick, not even being sure about your genuine name. Networking ? Difficult. In theory there are XING and LinkedIn groups, but LinkedIn groups are rather... difficult to use. XING works better here but is not so known worldwide, maybe still Germany + a little bit of Europe... The president closes the meeting at 22:37 UTC. * August 10/11: CAcert will be present at FrOSCon fair between Köln and Bonn.
