== Any other business ==

=== Update from facilitator of the upcoming face-to-face board meeting  ===

Gunner (facilitator) aims to have a draft agenda by the end of next week.

==== Possible community survey ====
<u>Suggestion</u>: create survey to take input from broader community about priority topics for the retreat. Each person can be asked to:
* list their top 1-2 issues that the board should prioritise - Responses to be published for transparency.
* select whether they want their response to be public or not. 
* indicate whether they are an OSMF member or not  (optional).
* provide their OSM usernames (optional).
Gunner to take into account the responses into the agenda building process. 


Survey format (compared to question posted on mailing list): 
* increased accessibility - surveys reach people who do not use mailing lists.
* discourages debates and discussions.
* may provide information regarding OSMF membership.

'''Action Item''': Paul to contact Gunner to get the community survey set-up.

=== Board - Working Groups meeting at State of the Map ===

Proposal to have a not-too-long meeting between the board and the [[Working_Groups|Working Groups]] during [https://2019.stateofthemap.org/ State of the Map 2019]. <br>

<u>Suggestion</u>: offer remote joining.

=== New insurance ===

* Cost similar to old one.
* Our new insurance might also cover members of Working Groups.

== Guest comments or questions ==
''Guests are welcome to speak at the end of the meeting on the topics that have been discussed. Please note that text messages sent on Mumble chat may not be seen by people who join using mobile apps. ''

''No comments or questions.''

== Closed portion of meeting ==
=== Next steps on GlobalLogic ===
{| role="presentation" class="wikitable"
|- 
|''Reason for closed portion: We need to talk about the practicalities of cancelling the memberships. For people who do not have all the details, our words about this can be confusing and lead to the wrong conclusions. Therefore we would like to be able to discuss this freely without worrying about how this might be misunderstood. In fact, a conclusion of this conversation might be that we need to ask GL to issue a detailed statement.''

''Please note that the [[Membership_Working_Group|Membership Working Group]] was invited to participate in part of the closed portion. ''<br>
''Suggestion:''<br>
''* 15 minutes board only discussion.''<br>
''* 15 minutes board and MWG discussion.''

''[[100_new_OSMF_membership_accounts_on_2018.11.15| Background here]]''<br>

''Status: The board [[Board/Minutes/2019-02-20#Voting|has accepted (in February)]]  GL's offer to withdraw the memberships. Mechanics of removing memberships will be worked out with the [[Membership_Working_Group|MWG]]. The board can facilitate, if needed. A GL representative has contacted the board about part of the process, a potential next step and the contact information of a GL manager.''
|-

Discussion of further actions regarding the GL sign-up. Next step is obtaining a list of individuals from GL for unsubscribing.
