Board Meeting Reminder for Tue Jan 7th, 20:00 UTC

[Anthony Towns]

Hello,

Presumably there is to be a board meeting this Tuesday, at the usual time;
but there doesn't seem to have been an announcement yet.

So, the meeting should take place on #spi on irc.oftc.net, at 2003-01-07
20:00 UTC. The meeting will probably be closed or adjourned by 21:00
UTC. As Nils appears to still be a member of the board, the quorum for
conducting business remains at six of the eight board members.

The agenda of things for discussion is probably something like:

    1. Approving minutes of last meeting
    2. Report from the treasurer (Branden)
    3. Removal of Nils from the board
    4. Resolution 2002-12-17.wta.1: Charter for the bylaws committee
    5. New board members
    6. eCos Membership
    7. Tax writeoffs / OFTC
    8. Listing in United Way
    9. Accepting Sincere Choice
   10. Copyright assignment (Martin Michlmayr)

Wichert, could you as secretary please make an announcement like this
(indicating time, location and agenda for the meeting -- ideally with
more information on the individual points than there is above) both a
week and two hours in advance of board meetings in future? For those of
us not on the board list, it's very difficult to see what, if anything,
is going on, without regular reports and announcements from the board.

Ean, as VP, could you please ensure that things keep moving ahead? In
particular, why have the board failed to remove Nils from its number?

Note that the failure of the board to meet quorum at any time during
October, November or December puts it in technical violation of the
requirement in the by-laws that regular meetings shall be held quarterly.

Cheers,

I don't speak for anyone save myself. GPG signed mail preferred.
