2 Business

2.1 Accept any upcoming topic today as Late Business

It was accepted, Motion m20131206.2

2.2 Distribute Functions of the Board

First Michael was accepted as treasurer with great majority. Werner was prosed as president and seconded. Next we looked for a secretary. Alex was proposed but declined. Etienne was proposed but was reluctant. After Alex offered to assist him, Etienne accepted. Since this was settled, Werner agreed to continue as president. Alex offered to act as vice president and was accepted. Finally we formally voted to accept the new board positions as a whole. Motion m20131206.3

2.3 Create a subcommittee

Robert has indicated that he would assist but did not show up. The other Australian members didn't attend the meeting as well, we couldn't do anything. Ben offered to ask around.

2.4 Final Invoice from Oophaga

We received an invoice for hosting costs for the first half of 2013. Since everything was okay, the payment was authorized, Motion m20131206.4

2.5 Submit OFT report

Since the financial report was ready, we agreed. But since the new board members are not yet complete, we had to postpone it.

2.6 Accept resignation of Joel Hatsch from Arbitration Team

It was accepted, Motion m20131206.5

2.7 Accept Benedikt Heintel as Internal Auditor

Benedikt already started some preliminary work and will start his main work in January. Among other tasks he supervises the creation of new root certificates and their escrow, of which Martin is the project manager. Benedikt was accepted with Motion m20131206.6

2.8 The request from the AGM to move the base needs discussing somewhere

One of the steps required will be modification of CPS, selection of jurisdiction, obtain agreement of members. Create a short list countries and their org forms that could fit our purpose. We have to explore what the Australian law has to say about taking over contracts implicitly. Clarify the status of the CCA: Terms and conditions or contract? So there are a few points to the country selection. Bank Rules, Costs and Transfer Fees, Incorporation Framework and how similar it is to current, number of members in that country.

But finally we found that the discussion should be outside the meeting so we have more time and more people for proper research and evaluation.
