Chair closes the Committee Meeting ## ####################################################################################### ## FILL IN MEETING AGENDA ITEMS FROM LAST MEETING MINUTES DEFERED TO NEXT MEETING ## ####################################################################################### <> == Minutes == === 1 Preliminaries === Present: * Dirk * Ian * Kevin * Michael * Piers * Raoul * Tomáš * Werner ==== 1.1 Opening ==== Meeting chaired by Piers. ==== 1.2 Minutes from last meeting ==== Minutes from last meeting accepted at [[https://community.cacert.org/board/motions.php?motion=m20120705.2|m20120705.2]]. ==== 1.3 Minute taker ==== Minutes will be taken by Piers. ==== 1.4 Disclosure of private communication ==== Some discussion of emergency payment to Oophaga, which has been initiated, but no news that it has been received. CAcert Inc bank balances were posted, and request from Treasurer for bank statements noted. ==== 1.5 Action items ==== No progress reported. === 2 Business === ==== 2.1 Request Team reports for upcoming AGM from Officers and Teamleaders ==== This is a reminder that we need to request these reports in time for the AGM. Tomáš will send mail to each Team Leader reminding them. ==== 2.2 Assurer events in Australia ==== Ian pointed out that we need 3 AU resident members on the Board to meet requirements of Associations Act. Piers has announced that he will be leaving the board at the end of this year, as may some others, so we need to recuit new members and potential board members '''this year'''. The alternative is to move CAcert to another country, which, at the moment, seems the harder option. The only suitable recruitment event available this year is the Barcamp in Melbourne. Ian has estimated the cost for his attendance at $400, (about 5% of CAcert savings). Next year, there is the cheaper option of LinuxConferenceAustralia, but it will be too late to affect the composition of the new board. It was pointed out that recruitment at barcamps has seldom been successful. Tomáš proposed the motion '''Resolved that we cover Ian's travel/accommodation expenses related to BarCamp Melbourne ATE up to $400''' accepted by [[https://community.cacert.org/board/motions.php?motion=m20120709.1|m20120709.1]]. ==== 2.3 Re-appoint Philipp Dunkel as a CAcert arbitrator ==== There is a proposal from Philipp Dunkel to re-join the Arbitration Team provided the Board and other Arbitrators are agreeable. As there are very few active arbitrators, this is a welcome offer, and the board should show its approval of his offer. Motion: '''that we re-appoint Philipp Dunkel as a CAcert Arbitrator''' [[https://community.cacert.org/board/motions.php?motion=m20120709.2|m20120709.2]] carried. ==== 2.4 Affiliate Program with booking.com ==== Marcus reports that until June 30 we earned 77 EUR from 27 Bookings. We get 25% of the provison that booking.com gets from the hotel. Unfortunately 26 of these bookings came from Germany and one from the Netherlands, so the usage is skewed to German users. There was some discussion of raising the profile of the booking.com service amongst other nationalities. ==== 2.5 Cooperation with GOOZE ==== Marcus reported that he, Michael, Dirk, and Joost will have a talk with Jean-Michel from GOOZE at the FrOSCon at the end of August. Then he will have more details to discuss for the board. === 3 Questions === ==== 3.1 CAcert T-shirts availability ==== Ian asked if the CAcert t-shirts are still available for purchase. Marcus says that the following sizes are available: M, L, XL, XXL and XXXL. ==== 3.2 Internship in Australia ==== Marcus asked about progress on the Internship. Ian reported that the internship is going well. The intern has produced the first set of network object code to transfer info back and forth, and produced the basic template for handling the incoming requests, which is now being hooked to a database. The wider methodology for network transfer that is being used is being written up in a report, which is in early scratch draft. The code is in a git repository on Ian's laptop. Ian is thinking hard about the authentication aspects, security being paramount. The internship finishes on 10th August. === 4 Closing === Time for next meeting has now been agreed: [[Brain/CAcertInc/Committee/MeetingAgendasAndMinutes/20120717|Next meeting]]: Tuesday, July 17nd 2012, 11:00 [[http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=17&month=07&year=2012&hour=11&min=00&sec=00|UTC]] Meeting closed by chair. === Motions === * [[https://community.cacert.org/board/motions.php?motion=m20120705.2|m20120705.2]]: ''Accept minutes for 2012-06-24'' * [[https://community.cacert.org/board/motions.php?motion=m20120709.1|m20120709.1]]: ''Expenses related to BarCamp Melbourne'' * [[https://community.cacert.org/board/motions.php?motion=m20120709.2|m20120709.2]]: ''Re-appoint Philipp Dunkel as a CAcert Arbitrator'' ---- .
