Hi Board,

related documents like the guidelines happened in the Code of Conduct

Hi,
This is more of a question to the previous board.
Note that it may well be that I have simply missed the information in
the minutes. It could also be that the information is currently not
available to me as the minutes containing the ratification vote are
currently still private[1][2].

Dear Board,
Codes of Conduct (CoC) and especially the policies surrounding them are
a very political issue (which easily becomes emotional). Unfortunately,
in my view, the CoC Working Group (WG) was unable to set these politics
aside enough to create a proposal that finds a balance in the wide

Hi board,
I have noticed that the lack of board minutes has not been resolved so
far and I am hoping that the community can get a quick action from the
board with regard to this matter. Can every board member please work on
publishing the minutes at their respective earliest convenience?
