1. LWG Community Guidelines for endorsement

Following a formal vote, LWG seeks board endorsement on 5 Community Guidelines. The background can best be understood in the 2 links below, but in summary getting board endorsement is an important symbolic check and balance step in maturing guidelines so that third parties can have confidence that they have been duly considered and are not a minority view.

This is deferred to a circular resolution.

2. Board Rules of Order Change

Suggested change to Board_Rules_of_Order Section 6 “Board Meetings”, insert before item 3 a new item as follows:

"Board meetings are chaired by the chairperson of the board. During discussions of any items in which the chairperson is involved, the task of chairing that section of the meeting will be delegated by the chairperson to another board member."

This is deferred to a circular resolution.

3. Articles of Association

Regarding Issues_with_the_current_Articles - Simon to initiate discussion on osmf-talk.

Next Meeting

Potentially on 15th July, to be determined by Doodle poll.

Meeting End

23:55 CEST.
