Chair closes the Committee Meeting <> == Minutes == === 1 Preliminaries === ==== 1.1 Opening ==== Meeting chaired by Piers. ==== 1.2 Minutes from last meeting ==== Minutes from last meeting accepted by [[https://community.cacert.org/board/motions.php?motion=m20120214.1|m20120214.1]]. ==== 1.3 Minute taker ==== Minutes will be taken by Piers. ==== 1.4 Disclosure of private communication ==== Discussion of privacy issue - ongoing. ==== 1.5 Action items ==== No progress to report. === 2 Business === ==== 2.1 Merchandising: Crypto Tokens -- deferred from last meeting ==== Michael posted details to board list just before this meeting (see: [[https://lists.cacert.org/wws/arc/cacert-board/2012-03/msg00000.html]]). Also see: [[https://lists.cacert.org/wws/arc/cacert-board-private/2012-03/msg00005.html]] and [[https://lists.cacert.org/wws/arc/cacert-board-private/2012-03/msg00006.html]] '''gooze''' has put up a proposal at [[http://www.gooze.eu/cacert-cryptographic-token]]. Ian pointed out that ''"CAcert Inc preserves and defends its brand (this is a prior decision from TOP 2007)"'' so any placing of the brand or logo on a commercial product would need an explicit permission from the Board. Michael explained that the idea is to sell from the '''gooze''' website on a CAcert specific page. The deal with '''gooze''' involves exclusivity for one year. The general issue of dealing with merchandising needs to be clarified so that CAcert can respond to such offers more quickly in future. Probably along the lines of ''"we like programs that align with open source / GPL"'', so that cooperation with, eg: '''gooze''', can be based on that (without needing to endorse the crypto part). Ian suggested: ''"CAcert Inc is part of and facilitates the world of open source, and is happy to license its brand name for limited displays on open source commercial products on a case by case basis. To this end CAcert Community members must meet the people behind the venture, make an assessment that this is indeed an aligned open source provider, and that the product is offered fairly and openly."'' Motion proposed: ''CAcert Inc. wants to form a cooperation with gooze that consists of the promotion of hardware devices in exchange for a share in the revenue'' [[https://community.cacert.org/board/motions.php?motion=m20120302.1|m20120302.1]]. It was suggested that one (or two) people be delegated by the board to finalise the negotiations with '''gooze'''. (Piers left the meeting at this point, and Dirk took over the chair.) The discussion continued on the private channel. === 3 Questions === ==== 3.1 Proposal of a new community web portal run by the community together with secure-u ==== Marcus brought up the creation of a new community web portal: ''The German community inc secure-u offered to run the new community web portal from the data security point of view. The question is if board supports that the community is moving this way.'' The proposal is to make this the new ''landing'' page for cacert.org. The discussion covered the issue of access to CAcert data being kept on cacert.org pages. Will the new landing page run on cacert.org servers. Also, there seems to be talk of a contract which would need careful consideration. (The contract may affect access to private data and affect privacy issues.) More details are needed. === 4 Closing === [[Brain/CAcertInc/Committee/MeetingAgendasAndMinutes/20120318|Next meeting]]: Friday, March 18th 2012, 20:00 [[http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=18&month=03&year=2012&hour=20&min=00&sec=00|UTC]] Meeting closed by chair. === Motions === * [[https://community.cacert.org/board/motions.php?motion=m20120214.1|m20120214.1]]: ''Accept minutes for 2012-02-10'' * [[https://community.cacert.org/board/motions.php?motion=m20120302.1|m20120302.1]]: ''cooperation with gooze'' ---- .
