      1. Dismissals (secretary)
        • "Michael will investigate what the conditions in Germany would be if one would use a bank vault for escrow." As there is no need for a bank vault for escrow now, it does not make sense to do any investigations about this action item. Dismiss action item 20130428 2.4 as obsolete.
        • "Preparation of the blogpost regarding the removal of ID document scans left over from TVerify shutdown was delegated to PR officer – Michael will contact him." A post could not be found, a post five years later does not make sense. Dismiss action item 20120505 3 as obsolete.

    8. Chair introduces the URL of action items to the meeting, and asks for discussion.

      1. Dismissals (secretary)
        • "Michael will investigate what the conditions in Germany would be if one would use a bank vault for escrow." As there is no need for a bank vault for escrow now, it does not make sense to do any investigations about this action item. Dismiss action item 20130428 2.4 as obsolete.
        • "Preparation of the blogpost regarding the removal of ID document scans left over from TVerify shutdown was delegated to PR officer – Michael will contact him." A post could not be found, a post five years later does not make sense. Dismiss action item 20120505 3 as obsolete.
        The committee dismissed three obsolete action items: "dismiss action items 20140413, 20120505.3, 20130428.2.4 as obsolete" Furthermore, the committee took some time to have a look on other still remaining action items. It was statet, that the committee should not deal with very old items until it has done/has spare time with the current important things. A to do list with day-to-day business is showed on the top of the agenda and tracked by the secretary.
    From the floor was voiced that there are needs to be more description of agenda items which are not "standard", such as "accept minutes". Voices from the committee agree in opinion.

  2. Business

    1. Committee
      1. Vacancies (all)
        1. Committee
        2. P.O.
        There are no news from secretary's side to both 2.1.1.1. (vacancy of three Australians) and 2.1.1.2. (prospective vacancy of PO) as the "letter to Australians" is on delay due to a miss understanding between the vice president and the secretary. They will catch up this in the next days.
      2. Permission Review
        • The committee decided "that Brian form an ad-hoc committee to review all permissions where there may be some relevance with assistance of Eva and asks other members for help where needed".
      3. Hand over
        • The committee decided (as discussed in last meeting) "that dicussions and consensus about moving CAcert are intended to happen in the policy group and the already existing Phoenix platform (email list and pad functionality, presuming ongoing consent of the owner), that board members will participate as role of ordinary community members, and that board will coordinate and move if necessary."
    2. Arbitration
      1. DRO (Gero)
        • Following motion m20160921.1 the committee has to accept the proposal from arbitration team and should appoint Ian G as Dispute Resolution Officer provided that he later accepts it although having declined it because of insufficient time. The committee encourage Ian to dedicate some time despite of a CoI stated earlier, because arbitration will probably suffer more with board in this role (until another candidate can be found), but to not make to much pressure, the appointment is rescheduled. In between, the vice president will talk to the designated DRO, as previous clarifying personal conversation seems more appropriate at the moment. The agenda item will be put on the next agenda again.

As the meeting time is all ready overdue for three quarters of an hour and several people have to leave, the following items are rescheduled to the next committee meeting, that takes place at Wedesday, January 18th 2017, 20:00-22:00 GMT.

  1. Resignations
  1. Question Time
    1. "When will you address other positions?" (This question went under in the heat of discussion on January 2nd.)
  2. Closing
    1. Agree on date of the next Committee Meeting Wedesday, January 18th 2017, 20:00-22:00 GMT
    2. Chair closes the Committee Meeting
