Monthly Board Meetings

Board meetings are generally held once per month via Mumble. They are open to everyone, and we always welcome new listeners. At the end of the meetings, anyone in the audience can add comments or ask questions.

The next meeting's draft agenda is usually shown with its future date at the top below.

Further below are minutes of past board meetings. Working groups also publish a lot of meeting minutes.

To inform members of board meeting discussion and decisions more quickly, we post draft “unapproved” minutes. These are added by the Administrative Assistant without being viewed by the board; they are formally voted on at the next board meeting and are subject to change.
