=== New payment provider: Mollie ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|''Background:''<br>
'' Netherlands-based payment provider [https://www.mollie.com/en/ Mollie] seems to have lower processing fees (e.g. sub 2% for a EU credit card transactions) compared to Paypal ([https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/merchant-fees ~4.4%]) or Stripe ([https://stripe.com/en-US/pricing 4%ish]). Mollie also seems to support managing [https://www.mollie.com/en/payments/bank-transfer SEPA bank transfers], which would eliminate most of the admin work for [[StateoftheMap_Organizing_Committee|SotM working group]].''
'' We signed up with Mollie in October 2019 on request from the [[Membership_Working_Group|Membership Working Group]] (MWG). It is integrated with our membership platform, CiviCRM, and allows people to pay their fees using bank transfers that are automatically recorded (as opposed to MWG operatives having to manually mark a membership as paid after they see money coming in through the bank).''
|}
* Paypal complicated to get EUR out.
* Barclays transfers sometimes provide no or insufficient information to determine source of payment.
==== Moving donations and transfers to Mollie ====
* Mollie integrates with our accounting platform, Xero, and CiviCRM.
* See the list of donors.
=== Transferwise for transfers ===
* Successful transfer to Canada, cheaper than
* Might be useful for State of the Map 2020.
* Might be useful for donations from US companies.
Provided by:
* OWG (GBP 110,938.43)
* LWG (GBP
* MWG just got quote.
* Suggestion to continue with rest [[Working_Groups|Working Groups]] as previously.
=== Volunteer auditor ===
=== Giving money-transfer privileges and locking some funds as bonds ===
Treasurer's suggestions:
* OSMF give Michelle and Guillaume money-transfer privileges. Accounts insurance policy up to 250,000 GBP.
* Leave <£250k on Barclays account to cover budget, park some funds in staggered bonds (put in for fixed amount of time and cannot be taken out ''(suggestion by Barclay's banker)''.
<u>Points mentioned during discussion</u>
* Moving money out of current account seems sensible.
* Need to ensure liquidity, to cover emergency expenses.
* Addition of monetary limits - instruct bank to put limit on money transfers and set up notifications.
** Comment that it is not a fail safe, as can be changed by people with account access and that mandate does not have option to have limit on transfers ''(may be added manually)''.
* Uncomfortable to give money transfer privileges for entire amount in bank.
* To first decide on the bonds and then give money transfer privileges.
<u>On amount of money needed on hand and bonds</u>
* Usual good practice to have 1 year of expenses extra as liquidity.
* Suggestion to leave less that 250,000 GBP ''(covered by insurance)'' in the account and have the surplus in bonds. Our annual budget is about 150K GBP, so that would leave ~ 100K GBP for emergency expenses plus income.
<u>On bonds</u>
* Typically issued by governments and corporations trying to expand. Good growth over time but money tied up for the duration. Guaranteed return, even if a bank goes bankrupt.
* Barclays interest: ~ 1%.
* Option already explored by Guillaume.
<u>Suggestions</u>
* Have short-term bonds (3-6 months).
* Start with 3-month bonds and then look at longer term.
* Have more details and specific numbers before deciding.
'''Action item''': Guillaume to prepare a circular on the bonds suggestion.

* Renamed to "active contributor program".
=== New program ===
* People who made a non-mapping significant contribution can write about what they are doing and the board will decide on case by case basis.
* Mappers: auto accepted if mapping in significant ''(to be defined)'' amount.
** Measure will be number of mapping days, because any other measure is complicated.
** If the number of mapping days in the previous year is below the threshold, then membership can still be granted, it will just not be automatically granted.
=== On granted membership ===
* The new program grants [[Membership#Associate Members|associate membership]]. Associate members can vote for board members but cannot be board candidates and cannot vote for [[Articles_of_Association|Articles of Association]] (AoA) modifications ''(they can vote for non-AoA changes)''.
=== Concerns ===
* Some members of Asian communities feel excluded, as they would not be able serve on the board, unless they pay the fee for normal membership, which could be a large portion of their monthly income.
** Reduction of membership fees would need an AoA change ''(voted by membership)''.
* Maybe median value will not be the best threshold.
** That's why [[Membership_Working_Group|MWG]] will consult the community.
=== Research by Guillaume and Paul on mapping by current OSMF members ===
* See graph below.
* A lot of members: do not map/we don't know their OSM usernames/have multiple accounts or have supplied invalid OSM usernames ''(supplying OSM username was not compulsory)''.
[[File:2dtGsV0.png|frame|left|Mapping* days of OSMF members with known OSM usernames in previous year. Analysis by MWG. Data 2020-04]]
<nowiki>*</nowiki> ''mapping as in having a changeset uploaded to osm.org''.
<br>
=== Suggestions ===
* Provide data/histogram to the community with accompanying explanation.
* Get community feedback on the threshold of mapping days in the previous year that will automatically grant membership.
* Extension of active contributor program to grant normal membership. This would require a special or general resolution ''(voted by membership)''.
** Was discussed by MWG.
** Associate members are creation of AoA (while regular member - of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Companies_Act_2006 Companies Act]), therefore we have more freedom on what to do with associate members.
''Guillaume to send spreadsheet with data to Allan.''
=== Motion to accept recommendations of MWG ===
* ''the community will be consulted to help define the number of mapping days''.
* ''the name of the project will change to active contribution instead of fee waiver''.
* ''people can apply based on other contributions than mapping which they can explain to the board.''
''Motion withdrawn as it doesn't need a board vote. MWG can proceed and the board vote will be on the final proposal when the number of mapping days has been defined, after the community consultation.''

Needs community discussion.
=== Concern ===
* That the two community discussions ''(together with the proposed active contributor program)'', will get mixed up.
=== Suggestion ===
* Do the proposed active contributor program community discussion first, as the membership has already decided on that issue at the [[Annual_General_Meetings/2019|13th Annual General Meeting]].

<u>Suggestion</u>
* Board members to nudge people to apply.
* Several people were hesitant to apply for the microgrants committee, as they want to apply or are close to people that will apply for microgrants.
** Joost shared his ideas of managing Conflict of Interest similar to what is done on the board.
=== Selection of microgrants committee members ===
Options:
* Vote by each board member and select top five.
* Consensus model.
==== Decision ====
* Joost will decide the method for selecting the committee members.

=== Agenda ===
* Will be available last minute due to Gunners time constraints, as most people he's working with are changing their schedules due to Covid-19.
* We might be missing things from people who don't usually participate (as revealed with the previous survey).
<u>Suggestion</u>
* Add proposed agenda on the [[Board/Minutes/2020-03-F2F| OSMF website]].
=== Decision ===
* There won't be a new survey as the board already has a lot of community feedback: [https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2019/05/09/osmf-board-face-to-face-meeting-suggest-the-topics-and-issues-that-matter-to-you/ F2F 2019 survey], Allan's initiated [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_SWOT SWOT analysis] ([https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2020/01/16/osm-swot-2020-share-your-thoughts/ background]) and his 32 calls so far with community members.
=== On sysadmin participation ===
* Grant and Tom have their weekend locked for us.

* Guillaume has been talking with OSM US and Allan had a call with Maggie Cawley.
* Good contact with their board. They are still being busy as a new board to be able to have a conversation about things.
* Guillaume and Joost will follow up.
* Will make this happen, takes effort and time.
* Hope that we will have a signing LC ceremony in Cape Town (SotM 2020).

=== Sparse explanation about the 18K GBP in the recent OWG budget ===
Comment by Christoph Hormann (Imagico) that the recent[[Board/Minutes/2020-02#2020.2FRes13_Approve_the_OWG_budget_at_the_high_option|circular on OWG budget]] had sparse explanation about the 18K GBP (Testable Chef cookbooks).
''OWG presented 3 budget options, some done in previous years. No overall budget for this year yet.''
* OWG has asked money for improving testing of our set-up scripts for Chef ''(carryover from previous budget that did not get spent in previous year)''.
** No idea yet who will do that work. Not top priority in budget for getting done this quarter of year.
** Good work done on improving test automation, without directing any money at it yet.
