Description
This is the first meeting to introduce the by-laws and process for creating a governance board for Ortelius.
A
B
Okey-Doke,
okay,
so
this
meeting
is
for
kicking
off
the
board
proposal
for
autrellius
and
myself.
Tracy
and
few
other
members
have
been
working
on
the
governance
board
proposal
since
a
few
weeks,
and
now
we
are
at
a
stage
where
we
want
to
anchor
it
with
you
all
and
also
ask
for
your
feedback
as
well
as
some
initials
next
steps
to
be
taken
in
the
process.
B
So,
let's
start
with
a
few
aspects
of
the
governance
board
makeup,
the
board
will
consist
of
seven
members
or
people
who
will
act
as
public
representative
of
the
project.
This
we
have
decided
based
on
a
lot
of
investigation
and
assessment,
which
we
have
done
from
various
other
open
source
projects,
including
jenkins
and
other
open
source
projects.
B
Also,
the
board
will
act
as
an
ultimate
decision
authority
in
case
of
disputes.
This
is
nothing
new.
I
guess
this
has
been
one
of
the
key
criterias
for
the
board
to
function
as
well
as
the
process
by
which
the
government
goes
board
is
elected
will
be
documented
as
a
board
election
process.
We
will
go
to
those
points
as
we
go
along
in
these
slides.
B
I
will
take
questions
at
the
end
of
the
slides,
so
feel
free
to
note
down
your
questions,
and
then
we
can
discuss
governance
board
goals
in
order
to
kind
of
ensure
that
we
all
understand
what
are
the
goals.
There
are
high
level
goals
which
we
have
also
crafted,
and
the
board
should
reflect
the
will
of
the
project
participants,
that's
the
most
foremost
and
most
important
goal.
We
have
also
board
reflects
the
balance
of
different
viewpoints,
the
needs
of
the
users,
the
committers
organization,
both
big
and
small,
and
commercial
interests.
B
Now
before
we
move
on
tracy.
If
you
have
anything
to
add
on
to
this
before
we
go
into
the
selection
process,
no
done
okay.
So
then,
from
the
governance
board
election
process,
what
we
have
discussed-
and
we
have
come
to
the
conclusion-
that
the
board
governance
board
includes
seven
members
as
we
outlined.
B
We
have
steve
taylor
as
one
of
the
nominated
members
by
the
founders
as
a
permanent
member,
so
he
will
hold
a
permanent
seat
until
he
willingly
wants
to
kind
of
give
away
that
speak
to
anyone
else
or
he
wants
to
step
down
election
every
year.
We
will
elect
three
people
in
each
year,
so
the
terms
are
for-
and
this
is
something
which
we
will
outline
in
the
next
slides
nominations.
Nomination
period
will
be
of
three
weeks
and
we
encourage
all
the
community
members
to
consider
running
for
the
board
positions.
B
We
also
are
very
strong
supporter
of
how
we
ensure
diversity
and
inclusion,
and
we
will
be
closely
looking
at
the
dni
quotient
in
the
board
and,
lastly,
we
will
use
the
online
voting
system.
That's
that
this
voting
system
is
provided
in
the
slide.
The
link
to
the
service
is
there
and
it
uses
algorithms
to
elect
multiple
people
in
one
word,
and
you
know
the
voting
process,
we
what
we
assume
that
all
the
community
members
will
be
encouraged
to
vote.
B
If
you
want
to
opt
out
from
this
voting
process,
we
will
have
an
opt-out
form
which
we
will
provide
to
the
members,
so
you
can
choose
not
to
have
your
email
sent
to
the
voting
system.
So
that's
what,
where
we,
you
know,
we'll
consider
you
know,
setting
up
the
system
as
well
as
also
ensuring
that
all
of
you
are
part
of
the
collection
process.
B
Now
from
a
committee
chair
and
election
process,
there
are
few
more
points.
There
will
be
two
permanent
committee
chairs,
non-voting
members.
What
we
have
decided
is
the
first
one
is
the
ambassador
share
and
the
second
one
is
the
champions
chair.
Their
terms
will
be
for
one
year
and
the
election
will
be
held
at
the
same
time
as
the
governance
board.
So
the
governance
board
will
manage
the
committee
chair
election
process
as
well
as
it
will
follow
the
same
guidelines.
B
So
nothing
strange
here.
The
role
of
the
committee
chair
will
be
to
schedule
and
run
the
committee
meetings
and
communicate
the
governance
support
to
resolve
any
issues
which
we
have,
of
course,
there's
a
lot
of
things
which
we
have
to
ensure
that
once
the
governing
board
is
in
place,
we'll
have
to
have
you
know
the
schedule
of
the
meeting.
Also
the
charter,
as
well
as
the
minutes.
B
Having
said
that,
one
permanent
member
is
already
there,
which
is
steve
taylor,
so
three
will
be
elected
for
two
years
and
three
will
be
elected
for
one
year
now
why
we
have
distributed
this
term
is
because
we
don't
want
a
destructive
changes
due
to
the
entire
change
in
the
entire
board.
So
we
will
have
a
rolling
kind
of
you
know
terms,
so
that
we
maintain
consistency
and
we
also
align
how
you
know
the
board
is
getting
transformed
year-on-year
when
new
members
are
introduced.
Can.
A
A
B
Okay,
okay,
so
then
the
key
dates.
What
we
intend
to
do
is
we,
as
we
mentioned,
that
we
want
to
give
ample
amount
of
time,
for
you
know,
spreading
of
the
nominations
as
well.
As
you
know,
getting
the
nominations
done,
so
we
propose
that
september.
24Th
nominations
get
opened,
we
also
have
the
voting
sign
up
begins,
which
is
basically,
if
you
haven't
opted
out,
you
would
automatically
be
signed
up
for
voting
into
this
and
october
15th.
It's
the
nomination
deadline.
B
So
if
you
want
to,
you
know,
nominate
yourself
or
any
other
community
member
for
the
board
position.
That's
your
time
when
you
can
do
that.
October.
26Th
election
candidates
are
published
november,
10th
voting
begins
november.
8Th
voting
sign
up
is
over
and
november
27th
voting
ends
now
december
3rd
results
are
announced
and
it
takes
effect.
So,
basically,
what
we
have
tried
to
do
is
that
we
have
to
you,
know,
get
the
board
set
up
for
the
next
year
and
that's
what
our
ambition
is.
D
B
A
You
don't
need
to
nominate
yourself,
you
either
sh.
So
the
way
I'd
like
to
do
this
is
you
show
up
to
do
the
work
and
whoever
is
interested
to
review
the
bylaws
and
make
sure
we
have
the
bylaws
down.
Whoever
wants
to
get
involved
can
do
that.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
five
or
six
people,
it
could
be
two
people
or
it
could
be
15
people.
A
A
A
B
A
C
B
A
Yeah,
it's
it
it.
This
is.
This
process
is
pretty
far
along
we're
really
just
at
hey
everybody:
here's
the
bylaws,
here's
how
the
governing
board
will
work.
Here's,
how
the
elections
will
be
held.
Please
make
comments
on
that
on
that
primary
document
and
we
should
have
it
decided
upon
by
the
15th
of
september.
B
We
have
thought
through
a
lot
of
things
before
coming
to
this
conclusion,
and
tracy
has
been
on
to
various
boards
actually
in
various
companies,
so
we
have
taken
advantage
of
her
experience
and
knowledge
as
well
as
we
have
gone
out
and
considered.
You
know
some
aspects
from
jenkins.
We
have
also
taken
support
from
outside,
so
it
is
like
it
took
us
some
time
to
kind
of
do
this
work.
A
B
D
B
A
Absolutely
so
I
have
said
I've
scheduled
two
meetings,
one
for
the
27th
of
august
and
one
for
the
10th.
The
10th
of
august
will
be
our
final
day.
Whatever
is
we've
got
for
those
bylaws
will
be
the
bylaws.
Now
keep
in
mind.
The
governance
board
could
always
modify
the
bylaws.
It's
part
of
their
job
is
to
manage
the
bylaws.
So
if
they
need
to
modify
the
bylaws
they
can,
but
up
until
the
10th
of
september,
they
will
be
open
for
suggestions
from
the
community.
B
For
everybody,
so
if
there
are
no
immediate
feedback,
I
would
like
to
thank
you
all
for
joining
the
meeting
today
and
tracy
if
you
could
stay
for
a
while.
That
would
be
great
and
we
look
forward
for
your
feedback
and
contributions.
Hopefully,
by
end
of
this
year,
the
governance
board
will
be
set
up
and
I
think
it
will
be
an
experience
for
all
of
us
to
kind
of
get
our
hands
wet
onto
this.
Yes,.
