|'' Discussion about updating the current travel policy and possibly having a yearly standing budget for small travel grants, available to mappers and developers who would like to attend an OpenStreetMap event. It has been proposed that the process should be standardised, the budget limited and the amounts claimed -as well as the name of the persons- public. <br/><br/>The updated travel policy would not be for events where there are already scholarships available, like State of the Map, but rather for smaller events like hack weekends or developer meetings, or occasions when someone involved in OSM backend coding would like to receive funding to attend (for example) a Ruby conference.<br/><br/> Updating the travel policy was initially proposed during the [https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2017/06/27/summary-of-boards-face-to-face-meeting/ Face-to-Face board meeting in May], where it was also discussed whether the policy should cover board members' travel to regional [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_Of_The_Map State of the Map] (SotM) conferences that have requested board presence - or whether giving the money directly to regional SotMs might be preferable. <br/><br/> The current travel policy automatically covers board members' travel to the international State of the Map conference and essential OSM Foundation duty - everything else needs to be discussed.

=== Local Chapter applications===
Two ongoing [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_Chapters Local Chapter] applications: [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_Chapters/Applications/Belgium Belgium] and [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_Chapters/Applications/Germany Germany].<br>
Status: currently reviewing documents.
===Accountant duties===
There is a person who might potentially take over from our current accountant, Vivien, who will retire at the end of the year. Vivien (our current accountant) will meet and give them a deeper insight on what needs to be done. If the person is suitable, Frederik will bring this matter to the board for confirmation.
