<div dir="ltr">Hey all<div><br></div><div>I had interpreted the motion as ‘tidy up any loose ends’ (finalise) the document and then ratify it. But do any tidying quickly.</div><div><br></div><div>Happy to have all my comments saved for iteration 2 - mainly around trusting future LOCs to do the right thing and put a small wall of invitation to meddle between the Board and the LOC - while retaining the line of responsibility.</div><div><br></div><div>re. ‘Board vs something else’ - I thought we’d covered that at the meeting Friday and arrived at Board. Agree with Daniel here, let’s let it lie.</div><div><br></div><div>re. spending - that can also be kicked down the road.</div><div><br></div><div>On a meta-admin front - can I ask we all make a tiny change to how we address documents: If we think something could be different, please provide a suggestion the alternative. I have historically been awful at doing that, but I will endeavour to always do so now. </div><div><br></div><div>In that spirit I’ve just closed all my comments on the ToR document, made a duplicate and named it ‘iteration DRAFT’, then put it into a folder called ’ToR working drafts’. We can comment like made on that, iterating toward v2.0 (by the way, if that is all to unilateral, feel free to undo it)</div><div><br></div><div>…so we can go ahead and ratify the current doc, and keep the new copy alive with ideas.</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps an early task of FOSS4G Oceania will be to host a gitlab someplace for these docs… </div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, 17 Dec 2018 at 10:49, Daniel Silk <<a href="mailto:dwsilk@gmail.com">dwsilk@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I agree that the new suggestions should be reserved for a future update.<div><br></div><div>To address Alex's comment:</div><div><br></div><div>> <span style="font-size:13px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">I'm not sure that using "Board of Directors" is the right term.

We can delay appointing a secretary until we know what the requirements are of the determined organisation structure (e.g. secretary might be required to reside in a specific state) but aside from that, I think we can and should continue to move forward under these terms, and that's what I understand the +1s to be in favour of over the weekend.</font></span></div></div>
