GOVERNING BOARD MEETING MINUTES, 2007/02/07
Attending: DIK, FIELDING, HOPPER, TEER.
Absent: PHIPPS.
Guests: Stephen Hahn
1. Agenda reordered to allow discussion of draft position statement on
dual licensing.
2. Members discussed draft language of position paper. Discussion
covered points being emphasized, document structure. HOPPER took
corrections in terminology and language.
3. Hahn gave an update on the current Contributor/Core Contributor
lists. Also pointed Board members to Glynn Foster's draft
announcement at
http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/OpenSolarisElectionDraft
with a request to read and offer corrections.
4. Hahn gave a brief overview of proposed voting software
implementation. Noted that there was an opportunity to test
software with an earlier ballot. A short discussion of questions
that might be asked followed.
5. A discussion of the third point on the agenda, "OGB leadership", was
held. DIK and Hahn both commented that current Board activities,
around the dual licensing issue and other topics, appeared to show
that the Board was leading in areas where no single Community Group
would be the natural forum.
6. The discussion moved to a treatment of petitions for Core
Contributor status recently approved by the OGB as "at large" Core
Contributors. Hahn expressed a concern that a successor Board would
be able to draw no guidance from the current process, and wondered
if more direction could be given to the petitoner's appropriate
Community Group and its failure to handle their case. FIELDING
commented that the assessment of contributions needed to be
balanced, and more than participation as an interested observer.
HOPPER agreed that the Board should handle requests via consensus.
A general desire to see a petitioner's record of contribution was
expressed.
7. HOPPER presented the corrected position paper for a brief reading
Motion: to adopt the CAB/OGB Position Paper 20070207 version 0.6
proposed by HOPPER, seconded by TEER. Motion carried 4 - 0.
8. Adjourned.
