Items discussed
ITEM: elections Renewal ends today, 58 out of 71 members renewed. Election committee is Peter, Rob, Martin and Daniel. Elections to start after SPI board mtg (12th Feb) on 22th Feb. Mandatory is 2 weeks of voting, trying to juggle nomination and QA period to avoid major holidays. For the SPI vote we need 75% of all members agreeing. Need to make sure members understand that not voting means voting against the SPI merger. Discussion on how much reminding is ok. Agreed that only voting machine is allowed to know who hasn't voted yet (so procmail alias w/ bcc). Secretary also needs to send the formal request for invitation to the SPI board. ACTIONS: Martin to set up election page for 2016 using 2015 template. ACTIONS: Peter to set up a mail alias for members who haven't voted yet for voting reminders. ACTIONS: Daniel to send request for invitation to SPI. STATUS: Pending ITEM: domain ownership Domain is extended, Leon helped with that. Still working on fixing the ownership, but no updates. Also figuring out how to handle domains properly in the future (also with an eye towards the possible spi merger), Peter is working on that with SFLC. ACTIONS: Keith to chase NS again. STATUS: Pending ITEM: server Plan to use letsencrypt to avoid ssl cert renewal issues in the future. members.x.org already moved now. Bunch of stuff on expo.x.org moved to fd.o servers by Daniel Stone. ACTIONS: Rob to check with Daniel Stone that nothing is left. STATUS: Pending ITEM: evoc troubles and delaware filings No news on payements. Stuart needs every director's details for delaware filings, see board@ mail ACTIONS: Stuart to poke again. ACTIONS: Everyone to reply in private to Stuart. STATUS: Pending
