Hi all, I'm currently in Dublin and was planning on making the call via Skype though the hotel internet access is quite shoddy. I'll try to call in, but if I don't make it here are my thoughts given the agenda.
* General business (minutes approved, finance update) +1 to approving the last set of minutes * Local chapters policy review and vote - Mike Jones It sounds like great progress has been made in the latest draft of the policy, though given the current discussion it doesn't feel like we're quite there yet. The two outstanding issues seem to be how to deal with "national chapters" and the wording around IP in terms of if we can allow Creative Commons licensing to make things simpler. I am not in support of approving the current local chapters policy and then later writing a national chapters policy. Instead I think that we should have the local chapters policy address local/national chapters so that we have one fewer policy. As it stands I am -1 for approving the current local chapters policy. * Member election logistics for PAPE working group - Mike Jones Not quite sure what this means, if someone is able to clarify before the meeting I'll give my thoughts. :) * Report from specifications council - ? Johnny Bufu and I have reached consensus around the five editor appointed people for the specs council. We're still waiting to hear back from Josh. I pinged him about it yesterday and will do so again today. I'm hopeful that we can be done with the council by our meeting Monday though we still need to ask the five people if they're willing to be on it. * Amended bylaws I was on the call last week along with Bill, Mike, Dave, and David around amending the bylaws. I believe there is now a new draft of them which I am -1 for approving. I am not convinced that a forever growing board with a small executive committee is the right structure for the Foundation. I'm hoping that we'll be discussing this next Monday during the F2F. Thanks! --David _______________________________________________ board mailing list [email protected] http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/board
