    Questions from CAcert.org Community Members can be added until beginning of Committee Meeting! As well questions can be asked at "Question Time", without added Question here

    1. Board motion m20110717.6 lacks Documentation by UlrichSchroeter

      • While writing the AGM team report for Assurance I'm stumbled over the Board report:

        • Board continued supporting ATE processes

          • in AU by Iang for the purposes of boosting the Australian Membership by motion m20110717.6 x1)

          • In Manchester by Alexander Bahlo and Ulrich Schroeter by motion m20111220.3

      • x1) the documentation path is incomplete

        1. m20110717.6 reference text only says reimburse AU ATE expenses 

          • Reimburse Ian for AU ATE expenses
That Ian is re-imbursed for AUD 1023.40 from the bank account

        2. Motion references to the board meeting 2011-07-17

        3. Meeting minutes Board meeting 2011-07-17 describes nothing special and therefor lacks any reference 

          • Motion that Ian is reimbursed for AUD 1023.40 from the bank account accepted.

        4. In the Past Events list AU ATE's that did happen:

          1. ATE-Melbourne, dated 2010-12-16, remarked FUNDS, but with a link to m20100912.2 (ATEs to Brisbane and Melbourne)

          2. ATE-Brisbane, dated 2011-01-24, remarked FUNDS, but with a link to m20100912.2 (ATEs to Brisbane and Melbourne)

      • The board motion m20110717.6 is probably a reference to the "earmarked" motion m20100912.2

      • But it lacks documentation!

      • So hereby I request to clarify the Board motion m20110717.6 in the report

    2. Reimburse expenses - addtl. motion required? by UlrichSchroeter

      • The ATE-Manchester Events report (dated 2012-11-08) sent in by Alexander Bahlo has a request for reimbursement of expenses following board motion m20111220.3 included (addtl. reference to Board meeting 2011-12-18 given.

      • Is there a new board motion required or what does it needs to start the process of reimbursement of expenses?

    3. Question Three added by Your Name Comment: Replace "Question One" by Your Question and add your Name

      • et cetera
  4. Closing
    1. Agree on date of the next Committee Meeting
    2. Chair closes the Committee Meeting
