A note on the timing: These minutes and the following ones of March 30 were approved in the board meeting of April 27, 2020. I apologize for the delay between then and now, which was due to my own faulty TODO-list bookkeeping.
FYI, the minutes of the board meetings of April 13, 27, and May 18, are pending approval in the following board meeting. Wiki location: https://wiki.gnome.org/FoundationBoard/Minutes/20200323 = Meeting of the GNOME Foundation Board of Directors, 23 March 2020, 14:30 UTC = == Attending == * AllanDay * NeilMcGovern * TristanVanBerkom * FedericoMenaQuintero * RobertMcQueen == Regrets == * CarlosSoriano * RosannaYuen == Missing == * PhilipChimento * BrittYazel == Agenda == * Meeting schedule * Foundation mission/vision * Form working groups * Committee requirements == Minutes == * Meeting schedule * Deferred until we have more directors present. * Foundation mission/vision * Deferred until we have more directors present. * Form working groups * Allan: We can turn these into two groups, a strategy one and a policy one. My proposal is that the strategy group works on the mission/vision question and the 18-month strategy for the Foundation, while the policy one works on things like the policy for conference approvals and whether to turn the release team into a committee ( https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Board/issues/159). * Tristan: This would define who does what in working sessions. * Allan: Do we want the groups to be non-overlapping? * Neil: Maybe we should just ask for volunteers rather than appointing them. * Allan: Let's go around the room. * Federico: (after some discussion) I would like to work on policy, project governance, initiatives. * Rob: Strategy. * Tristan: Policy, things around the release team becoming a committee. I will need to schedule with a convenient time with Federico in regard to time zones. * Neil: A lot of that does not need to be done in person; it can be in !GitLab comments or other asynchronous discussions. * Allan: Split down the middle, probably most useful around the strategy side right now. * Allan: I will send out an introductory email to each group once I have talked to Philip, Britt, and Carlos. * Committee requirements * Allan: Philip has drafted a proposal for minimum requirements for committees. * Tristan already suggested an amendment to the proposal in the draft document. * '''VOTE:''' Adopt the draft as expectations for committees. * +1 unanimous * '''ACTION''' - Allan to put the approved draft on the wiki, in the committees page. * '''ACTION''' - Allan to mail committees to inform them of the requirements page. == Actions == * '''Allan:''' Add the approved committee requirements text to the wiki, in https://wiki.gnome.org/Foundation/Committees (done: https://wiki.gnome.org/action/diff/Foundation/Committees?action=diff&rev1=13&rev2=14 ) * '''Allan:''' Contact committees to inform them of the committee requirements.
