Minutes

1 Preliminaries

Present:

1.1 Opening

Meeting chaired by Piers. As the meeting was not announced 48 hours before, Board explicitly decided to do it by an unanimous vote.

1.2 Minutes from last meeting

Voting on minutes from last meeting was not finalised at the time of meeting because the minutes were completed only one day before the meeting. They were later accepted by m20120504.1.

1.3 Minute taker

Minutes will be taken by Tomáš.

1.4 Disclosure of private communication

Intermediate Ruling on Arbitration case a20110118.1 (removal of TVerify ID scans) was sent to board-private by Arbitrator to solicit additional (possibly sensitive) input from Board members. Because the response revealed no private information, this was subsequently published under Arbitration.

1.5 Action items

No reports were given.

2 Business

As every business agenda item was posted after the 48 hour deadline, chair proposed m20120521.1 to accept all the late agenda items. This vote was carried.

2.1 Appoint Alexander Bahlo as Organisation Assurer

Marcus introduced the candidate to the Board. AB has been trained and tested in two supervised Organisation Assurances with very pleasing results. Marcus also noted that the training has been done on the test system to help the prospective OA to familiarise himself with the interface.

Motion m20120521.2 proposed by Michael – carried.

2.2 Internships

Ian started discussion on a draft process for internships within CAcert. He noted that some framework needs to be set up in order to offer the student some surety of results. The welcome message could look something like this:

This letter is to invite you to participate in our CAcert project to (PROJECT X). Your participation will take place from START to END in LOCATION, and can be considered as an internship or student placement.

We anticipate that given your level of experience, the best place for you will be the (PART Y – optional). This will require you to (TASK LIST).

This project is supervised by (ASSURER ALICE). At the end of your contribution, there will be an independent review of the work you have done, and a written report of accomplishments. This review will be conducted by (ASSURER BOB), with assistance from others, and the report may be relied upon by others within the Community. It will of course be your responsibility to provide evidence to support any statement to a CARS (CAcert Assurer Reliable Statement) level.

Attachment: Goals.

Ian already has a student that wants to work under his supervision on BirdShack, Piers had been asked to provide the final assessment.

The process could consist of the following points:

  1. A supervisor should be identified.
  2. The project should be identified.
  3. A reviewer should be identified.
  4. The obligations of student, org and supervisor(s) should be reviewed to be reasonable.
  5. The invitation should be extended by leader/board/pres.

Motion m20120521.3 to empower the President to approve internships proposed by Ian – carried.

3 Questions

Ulrich reminded Board of exec request in a20110118.1 – a blog post to be published regarding the removal of ID document scans left over from TVerify shutdown. Preparation of the blogpost was delegated to PR officer (Alexander Bahlo) – Michael will contact him.
