=== Previous action items ===
<font color="blue"> See [[Board/Action_Items]]. </font>
 
== Action items updates ==
 
== Treasurer's report ==
* Quincy Morgan ''(iD developer)'' sent his first invoice.
* Direct debit fraud continuing - not losing money but time.
 
== Attribution Guidelines status update ==
| ''Suggested by Joost.''

Recent meeting of the board with [[Licensing_Working_Group| Licensing Working Group]] (LWG):<br>
Discussion about section 4.3 of [https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/ ODbL] ''(when/how attribution should be shown)''.
 
'''Action item:''' Guillaume to create document with notes of the Board-LWG meeting, to be shared with LWG ideally before their next meeting and the board mid-month chat.
 
== Articles of Association amendment proposals ==
| ''Suggested by Joost.''
|}
 
<u>On timeline</u>
* Text of resolutions has to be included with the [[Annual_General_Meetings| Annual General Meeting]] (AGM) announcement to members at least 28 days before the AGM if it will contain special resolutions ''(requirement by Companies Act)''.
* Time is not enough.
 
<u>Suggestions</u>
* Prepare the first two resolutions for this year's AGM and discuss the other 2.
* Prepare all the 4 resolutions.
** Membership prerequisites as a topic goes back to 2019 board face-to-face meeting and board screen-to-screen meetings afterwards.
* Get legal review of proposals and community consultation.
* Ask the members on whether they would prefer to propose the resolutions this year or afterwards.
** Different opinions might create confusion.
 
<u>Points mentioned during discussion</u>
* Ideas not right yet, proposals have a lot of issues.
* Takeover risk:
** we are not strategically aligned over it.
** the mechanisms we pursue to avoid this do not help us.
* If Tobias is motivated to work on the membership pre-requisites proposal, that is fine.
* 5% of OSMF members can submit a resolution for vote.
 
'''Decision: to send specific proposals for community consultation.'''<br>
''Motion by Tobias that passed with 3 in favour, 2 abstained.''
 
'''Action item:''' Rory to ask membership for feedback on draft proposals.
 
''Post-meeting additions: links to osmf-talk discussions (OSM Foundation's membership mailing list. You need to be an OSMF member ([https://join.osmfoundation.org/ join]) to [https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/osmf-talk subscribe]. See all messages [https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/ here]).''
* ''[https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2020-October/007299.html Possible AoA Amendment: Committees]''

== Personnel committee ==
| ''This is related to a [[Board/Minutes/2020-03-F2F/Sustaining_and_fortifying_OSM#Personnel_committee|discussion during the March 2020 board screen-to-screen meeting]], where it was suggested to create a personnel committee. The resulting action item was to "Scope out boundaries on committee, safety measures, how to mitigate effects on volunteers, e.g. de-motivation".''

Past discussions:
* [[Board/Minutes/2020-09#Personnel_committee|2020-09 board meeting]].
* [[Board/Minutes/2020-10-S2S/Managing_staff_-_what_questions_need_to_be_resolved|Screen-to-screen October 2020 meeting]].
 
<u>Key concerns raised for previous draft</u>
* implementation of performance reviews: making sure not relying heavily on special information exchange between personnel and persons on the committee but largely relying on public record.
* support that the committee is set up to provide to personnel is not exclusive (board members are open for discussions with community members).
 
Draft updated: [[Personnel_Committee/Charter]] - [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Personnel_Committee%2FCharter&type=revision&diff=7717&oldid=7601 Diff].
 
<u>On committee composition</u>
* Initially: subset of board members (currently two).
** Guillaume talks regularly with [https://github.com/quincylvania Quincy Morgan] ''(iD developer)''.
** Joost ''(Secretary)'' talks regularly with Dorothea ''(administrative assistant)''.
* Suggestion: one person until the election.
* If [[Annual_General_Meetings/2020/Suggested_resolutions#Vote%201:%20Allow%20non-board%20members%20to%20sit%20on%20OSMF%20Committees%20(special%20resolution)|suggested change]] to [[Articles_of_Association| Articles of Association]] (AoA) passes, possibility to invite others.
 
'''Decision to accept the [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Personnel_Committee/Charter&oldid=7717 personnel committee charter] as foundation to start the committee.'''<br>
''Motion was unanimously accepted.''

=== On invitation to OSM UK to give a Local Chapter presentation ===
''Question by Imagico (guest) on whether [https://osmuk.org/ OSM UK] was asked again to give a LC presentation, as they were invited to present in September and that did not happen due to the short notice.''
 
> OSM UK has an Annual General Meeting soon, so they are probably busy. It's not clear who will do the presentation from their side.
 
=== Thanks to FLOSSK ===
''Comment by Anisa Kuci (guest) that OSM Kosovo has been quite a supportive community and has guided OSM Albania through their journey as a new community.''
