The aim is to also have evangelists for these accounts and Facebook who diligently spread the good news of CAcert in the social media.

'''Business''' '''Critical team''' (main topic): Brian came up with a list of a dozen or so, most of them remote, to add to two or three potential members that we had found before the 360K! It is moved that Tony, Erick, Pal, Brent and Mark's names be presented to Wytze as the Board's recommendations for the future Critical Team. '''Corporate donors''': We have had a potential donor, who is offering to make a monthly donation, from his company, and asks that he be credited on our website home page. We have allready this kind of logos: * https://www.cacert.org (on the bottom; Ted is just working on https://bugs.cacert.org/view.php?id=1423: "Remove logo of Open Architecture Network") * https://wiki.cacert.org/FAQ/AboutUs/History * https://wiki.cacert.org/comma/Arsenal/SponsorshipOffering It is stated: 1. The corporate donor makes supports CAcert by a donation; 1. The corporate donor should not be tied to an aggreement making it an obligation of giving money to CAcert; 1. The corporate donor should keep the ability to give more frequently, or less frequently, without any action in return from CAcert; 1. As a "thank you" and nothing else, CAcert would then decide to make public on its front page, the fact that the corporate donor helps CAcert. If technically possible, during the time, and as long as the sponsor contributes, CAcert will display their logo and a link to their company, on our home page. All sponsors will be listed on our history page. Idea: Main sponsors (about 3) with logo on the home page (as it is) and a link to a sponsor list (maybe on the wiki). '''The president will address the corporate donors in the next days.''' If we have some time, we will create an internal, but public guideline (not a policy). Just a note: our data center gives us an annual discount and some free services. They are present with the logo. '''New active members''': * Frédéric D will handover the names of potential new OrgA to Etienne as he can contact and escort them. * Nobody wants to take over the first contact initiated by AlexUK with potential new arbitrators. Well, recruitment to Arbitration is our second most important concern, after support. Here, the recruitment processe depends on Mario and Lambert. It depends on them at 100% perhaps. AlexUK cannot do more. * with Sysadmin, our concern is our ability to transform most of them into support team members, and Infrastructure team members. That needs regularly contact. * We have people who have volunteered to help. I want to put them to work. '''Now we want from eacht team (incl. Support!!!) someone who pick up them and give them a hand to start.''' We need, to talk to people: "what to you want", '"would you mind if", "here is the mission of the team", etc. Finances postponed to october. There will be a blog post to thank you all donators and tell about the success of our mailing. English (Brian), German (Etienne), French (Frédéric D).
