First Board of Directors Meeting!!!1!!1!!

Date: July 9, 2015

Location: Mapbox West

Present:

  • Beth Schechter, President
  • Lyzi Diamond, Vice President
  • Camille Teicheira, Treasurer
  • Alan McConchie, Secretary

Agenda (sent by Beth in advance):

  • Approve & ratify bylaws
  • Treasurer's statement
  • Fill out + sign bank paperwork (attached)
  • Decide where to post minutes

First agenda item: ratifying the bylaws

Outstanding questions:

  • Do we want the at-large-member?
  • Licensing
  • Does the intro text need to be included in the bylaws?

Intro text ("preface")

It doesn’t feel like it belongs in bylaws, but we like it, and we feel that it’s good historical background for other Maptimers. We did one more edit of the Preface to update it for 2015. We approve that the preface is officially part of the Bylaws.

At-large member

Resolved that we will include an At-Large Member of the board (unfilled at this time). This role will be for someone active in Maptime (either at HQ or chapter level) who is taking on special projects. It will also be a good tiebreaker (so the board has an odd number of members).

Intellectual Property and Licensing

We vote to remove the licensing section from the bylaws. It’s too complicated and we have too many outstanding questions. We will create a separate document to be ratified at a future meeting.

Revised bylaws ratified! We're calling this version 1.0.0 (And adding a changelog as an addendum at the bottom of the bylaws to track changes)

Second agenda item: Treasurer’s statement

In general, at this point in the meeting we would state what has come and gone into the bank account. Currently we have $11 in petty cash which Camille will deposit. We also should have a ~$700 check from Eventbrite (proceeds from the Summit) either in the possession of Alan or Beth. Alan will look for this at Stamen and at home today.

Third agenda item: Fill out + sign bank paperwork

We all signed! Camille will take the paperwork to the bank (SF Fire Credit Union) today.

Fourth agenda item: Decide where to post minutes

We will post minutes publicly on the maptime-admin wiki. Alan will keep a master copy in Google Drive.

Meeting closed!
