I'm confused because I thought that each meeting set the date of the next meeting, apart from the Annual. Has third Tuesday been agreed for all meetings until some date, or are meetings are on the third Tuesday except when they're not? > On Sat, Nov 25, 2006 at 12:01:38PM +0000, MJ Ray wrote: > > I notice that there was another proposal to transfer opensource.org to > > OSI before they become accountable to free software developers.

I hope most noticed it was a question, not an accusation. If you mean the "accountable" comment, that's not prejudice, it's *post*judice[sic] - my understanding from the comments made last time SPI's board discussed OSI, which I feel are reflected in the draft minutes: Ian Jackson states the reason that he objects to this resolution is that "SPI is a membership controlled organisation and OSI is a self-perpetuating board. I don't think a self-perpetuating board is an appropriate structure for this." > Why would any resolution stop an announcement being sent out? You seem > to be implying that the board have a hidden agenda. Not at all. Don't jump to (wrong) conclusions. I thought it's possible that this was controversial enough to mean that everything got played exactly by the letter of the by-laws, rather than giving it more publicity among the members. What happened at the meeting? Did SPI give away the domain? > I would suggest you > call a special meeting to withdraw the board.

I'm amazed that anyone is so willing to play with the nukes over something like this, but if the only way to question SPI board strange behaviour is that untouchable, that's quite bad. > > Also, the logs and minutes for July 2005 seem to be missing.

Also, note that: 1. those minutes are not linked from http://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/minutes http://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/meeting-minutes/2005 or http://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/meeting-minutes 2. http://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/meeting-minutes is not linked or even visible in the menu from the section index http://www.spi-inc.org/corporate - it seems to appear only if you are in the meeting-minutes section! and 3. the July 2005 minute links on all agendas from August 2005 to March 2006 are 404 Not Found, whereas the July 2006 meeting that apparently approved it doesn't link to anything. In short: the navigation to that page is screwy, so I can't see why asking where it was got such a hostile answer. > > Finally, what is the expected path from http://www.spi-inc.org/ for > > members to find out about meetings?
