Apologies: Peter N., Ross K.

Preliminaries

At 20:00 UTC we decided to start as quorum had been reached. Sascha declared taking minutes.

Minutes from last meeting had not been written yet.

Etienne got a non-urgent demand from critical to his private email, he will put it on next meetings's agenda.

Business

In absence of Brian we started with 2.2. We discussed possible intervals of meetings and what would be the best weekday and time, and came to the rule-of-thumb: "There is a board meeting at 20:00 UTC on first Thursday in every month." Next meeting in January 2020 will be on 2020-01-09 20:00 UTC.

We continued with 2.1. Frédéric G. is still evaluating candidates for Treasurer/Financial subcommittee, so we left the position of Treasurer open for now and voted a motion.

Secretary

Etienne Ruedin

Treasurer

(will be filled definitely in the coming weeks)

(Motion results: Aye:5 | Naye:0 | Abstain:0 | Approved)

2.3 (Strategy) was skipped due to late time; common understanding is the strategy that the previous board in 2019 has initiated: Board members take over defined actions and report in meeting, to keep meeting short and have more time between meetings. We want to discuss about this topic via email in the next days before the January meeting.

Sascha explained item 2.4 (status of applications for infra/critical) as he got a request from Mark S about status of his application. Mark is on the "short list" of local people for critical team, Dirk should have contacted him already.

Question Time

No questions in agenda; skipped.

Closing

We closed at 22:22 UTC.

Next meeting: January 9th, 2020, 20:00 UTC.
