Kantara Process

Special guest, Joni Brennan, Executive Director for Kantara Initiative
brief us on Kantara the processes.

First of all, Joni said congrats on forming the working group, and thanks for your participation! She then reviewed some of the important Kantara procesesses we need to know about as we develop OTTO.

One of the first thing we have to do is open nominations for leadership. When we wrote the charter, we proposed Mike and Janusz as co-chairs. But all suggestions about leadership positions, are welcome--send a message to the mailing list, email Mike, or send a message to staff@kantarainitiative.org if you have any ideas or questions.

All members must officially join the by completing the Group Participation Agreement, OTTO WG from the "Join" link on the OTTO WG page: http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/OTTO/Home Members can choose to join as voting or observing (and can change in the future). As of right now, Hector, Nate and Janusz have signed the participation form on the OTTO Wiki. Oliver helps with the membership, if you have questions.

Quorum is 1/2 + 1 or .5 to get to a majority.

To be a voting member, if you miss three meetings in a row, the chair has the discretion to move you to the observer status. If that happens, notify the person so they can attend the next call to ask to re-state their commitment to attend calls.

Minutes: attendence, indicate quorum, approval of previous minutes, agenda. Capture highlights of the conversations, motions and actions. Annotate minutes "not-appoved" and change to "approved". Minutes should be captured in the wiki (watch out for 90 minute wiki timeout!), and sent out via email (hopefully get the minutes out well before the next meeting).

Chair can ask if there are any objections to approving the minutes, instead of asking for a motion to approve the minutes.

Try to rely more on consensus than voting. Any substantive issues should be put to a vote--approval of a draft. Specific changes to a document should hopefully just proceed by mutual agreement. If something is contentious, and you can't reach a consensus, put it to a vote. Voting for leadership is also needed.

Kanatara has a Github account, and will create a project for OTTO and Mike will assemble a list of github usernames for invitation.

Assign an editor or editors for the OTTO standard. Hear a motion in OTTO Workgroup to waive the requirement for a secret ballot, so we can have an election on the call instead of a week long eballot.

Chair will have the pleasure of joining the bi-weekly Kantara Leadership Call, to share information across groups. The Leadership council reviews Kantara organizational issues and funding.

Next week

Technical discussion will resume. Please review Webfiner and MQP if you have time.
