[OGB-Discuss: Michele Olson was elected Secretary at the OGB meeting yesterday. She has created comprehensive minutes to ogb-private which will be posted here as soon as the OGB has approved them. The OGB also resolved to allow e-mail conduct of OGB business, as well as electing me Chair and John Plocher Vice-Chair]
Wonderful work, thanks Michele. Please can you propose a vote to adopt the minutes you have created when you're done editing and we'll test our e-mail voting. Let's use the public list for the vote. Going forward, I agree with Plocher here - I would actually like to see less! We have the recording for a detailed record; I would like the minutes to record only: * For resolutions, the resolution actually adopted and the details of the vote adopting it. * For action items, a sentence explaining the action item and the name of the person carrying it. This also applies to future business - all future business needs an owner who is preparing the resolution. * For discussions (including those preceding resolutions and action items), the points members ask to be recorded. If there are none, a record like "Members discussed the design of the web site. No decisions were taken." or "Members discussed the design of the web site. xxx took an action item to prepare a resolution for a future meeting." What do other Board members think? Let's briefly discuss and then I'll roll it up into a resolution. S.
