The weekly governance call is open to the community members who care about governance issues. The call is held 9-11AM PST on Fridays.

September 24, 2021

  • Attending: M, Brian, Ana, Fernando, Jason
  • Substantive progress has been made in the past few weeks related to the high level structure for the executive function of our governance model.
  • We have archived a previous version for the Board of Directors doc which had become an unwieldy record of many versions and iterations of ideas for structure from the past two years. We built the new document using the archive document so that we don’t lose the comments and feedback that folks had provided in the past. (Both are under Executive Board in links above)
  • Renamed Board of Directors to Executive Board to reflect the unique nature of how this group will function. This board will lead on a combination of day to day leadership of the org (something that mirrors the work of executive leadership/ED/CEO) and strategic decision making and vision setting which would traditionally be the function of a non profit Board of Directors
  • We are converging on being able to launch the Executive Board draft in the near future for feedback and review
  • In the Executive Board Document we will use the Google commenting function for anything that needs to be resolved before transition to GH PR’s. There may still be open discussions in this doc which can be done on GH - those comments will be made inline on the Google Doc
