[Board] Motions from October 15 2015 meeting

[Vasile Craciunescu]

Jody,

Jeff is right. The UN discussion did not ended with a formal motion, 
followed by votes, but with the creation of an action item, supported 
with +1 statements by most of our board members. A motion can be forward 
at the next meeting after the setup of the wiki page with more 
information on the topic.

Best,
Vasile
