Operational Update and Retrospective

Stefano provides a year-end review of activities, sponsorships, memberships, and press coverage, and a prioritized list of goals for CY23.  

The board discusses the prioritization of CY23's proposed action items, which include: Events, Marketing Initiatives, Policy & Standards, License renewal projects, and ClearlyDefined. The board further discusses the high level goals as presented by Stefano, and broadly agrees with the intent and scope.

The board expresses a desire to approve these goals after the wording has been refined. Aeva Black volunteers to assist Stefano Maffulli in wordsmithing, with intent to share the finalized list to the Board next week.

Catharina Maracke makes a motion to approve these high level goals. Pamela Chestek seconds. All present approve.

Stefano presents three projected budgets to the board (below, expected, and above expected fundraising goals). Budget will be reforecast in May. 

Tracy Hinds motions to approve the budget. Catharina Maracke seconds. All present approve.

The Board enters executive session at 09:30 to discuss Stefano’s performance in CY22. Stefano departs.

The Board exits executive session at 09:50. Stefano rejoins.

Pamela Chestek provides an update on plans to update the license-review process, including plans to notify and request feedback from the community on the conclusions of the License Review Working Group via several channels in the next few months.

Josh Berkus presents two small changes to the Elections Process: (1) incorporating wording related to maximum term limits; (2) copy process documents related to the announcement of election results from private documents into public documents.

Proposed language: “Directors who have served for five or more years may not run for the Board, until they have been off of the board for one year or more.”

Catharina Maracke motions to approve the proposed language. Aeva Black seconds. Approved by all present, a majority of board members. (Amanda and Carlo absent).

Josh moves that we copy relevant sections of the staff’s elections-process documents into public documents. Catharina seconds. All present approve. (Amanda absent)
