35	35	==== Proactive Outreach To Companies Who Have Built Their Business Models Around Open Source Software: ====
36	36
37		- In the past year we have seen a number of these companies change their licensing strategies in response to what they perceived as threats to their businesses or inadequacies in the currently available licenses. I intend to to build bridges with companies who have built their business models around open source software by performing proactive outreach on behalf of the OSI. My goal would be to listen to and understand their concerns, connect them to a wider group of open source experts who can help them, and communicating their concerns back to the OSI board. If elected to the board, **I commit to publishing transparency notes of these outreach meetings and making them publicly available to all**, minus any sensitive or off-the-record information.

43	43	==== Expand Fundraising Efforts By Directly Engaging With A Broader Set Of Companies And Individuals: ====
44	44
45	45	Fundraising is a personal passion of mine. I will help expand fundraising efforts for the OSI by reaching out to companies who have not committed to donating to the OSI, and by personally engaging with individuals who care about open source, but who have not yet chosen to support the OSI. **If elected, I will set a clear, public fundraising goal, and publish regular progress updates.**
