Advice for new Board members
Obtain a cacert.org email address by sending a request to email-admin@cacert.org.
Board meetings are held in the channel #board-meeting on irc.cacert.org. Board meetings are usually public. If any private business is to be transacted the discussion is moved to #board-private, but this will be announced in the public channel.
Voting is carried out in https://community.cacert.org/board/motions.php (log in with your CAcert client certificate). Note that you can change your vote any time up to the end. The votes already done are "by proxy" which is code for having been recorded in the meeting. Generally the meeting's activity is the primary, and the voting system then records what is done in the meeting for that vote. In this case it will be set to 3 days (shortest) and proxy votes entered by minutes-maker. Votes outside meetings are generally minimum 7 days. Anyone can propose a motion, any time... Volunteers to add some features to the minimalist PHP app can rest assured that they will be voted in to that task
New Board Check List
Once a new Board is put in place by the Association's AGM/General Meeting there are some general things to get through:
Pick a date & time for the first meeting. One easy way is to be guided by the members from the previous board, and then at that first meeting, review the situation for all the new members.
Change the list of committee members on CAcertInc.
- Review the "forward looking statement" in the annual report. The question of adoption or modification is up to each board.
- Contact the outgoing Treasurer, Secretary, and any other roles to get stuff handed over.
The handover has to be done by old board members within 2 weeks (Associations Act).
Immediate Business for every new Board
In the first meeting:
- choose some members for the roles of President, Secretary, Treasurer. In recent practice, we have moved to making these things more team oriented so that there is always extra hands to help.
- review the standing instructions for bank accounts, public officer, AU requirements.
review the timings & dates for future meetings.
Immediate Business for the next Board (only)
Hammer out a protocol for what AU board member sub-committee solution means, and what we have to do to meet our due diligence requirements. .
(change this list every new board)
Board Members
- Treasury
- bank accounts - list of accounts, signatories at bank, account access, paypal
- brief new members and request details
Contact support to get the Ad Admin flag set to add & approve advertisements on the website.
- Secretary/ Public officer
- Change ownership of cacert-members email list
- Assets trusted to board members for official purposes
- the envelope of critical team's disaster recovery assets
as documented at SecurityManual#Key_Management
- board currently has no copy of this...
- Change the Moderators/Editors and Owners of the cacert-board list. This propagates to membership changes on the cacert-board-private and cacert-inc lists within the next hour. any owner of board email list can do this.
Ensure former board members are removed as subscribers from cacert-inc https://lists.cacert.org/wws/review/cacert-inc (only those with sources a "subscriber")
- Lodge Association Rules changes and change svn and wiki entries (x2)
Tech / systems administrators
wiki-admin: change TrustedGroup (can board members do this anyway?)
new ACL group: BoardGroup
- webmail-admin: update board voting system - /var/www/board/database.sqlite - voters and email table.
email-admin: Review the roles (treasurer, secretary, paypal) and advice email-admin of required changes.
depricate: software assessment / critical systems admin: change board list link redirects to wiki page Committee/Current
