[FGCMH Core] Agenda: CCC meeting March 7, 2010 at 2:00 pm

[Adam Porr]

Here are my contributions to the agenda.  I don't expect that we'll
get through all of this, but I would like it to be on the list so that
we don't forget about it.

With regard to old business, I think we need further discussion about
board member selection and participation.  Specificially:

* What are the specific details of how board members will be chosen?
We have stated that they will be chosen by consensus, but there are a
lot of remaining questions:
  * How does someone get nominated?
  * How must a candidate officially accept a nomination?
  * During what period will nominations be accepted?
  * Will candidates be allowed to (expected to?) speak to the council
prior to selection?
  * What is the time window during which a candidate may be selected
(i.e. during what time period may consensus be reached on a
candidate?)
  * What is the deadline for selecting candidates? What happens if a
seat has not been filled by the deadline.

* What are the attendance requirements for board members going to be, if any?

* Can the CC remove a board member? If so, how does this work?

I'd like to add the following new business:

* Decide if we need a policy for making decisions outside of normal CC
meetings (making decisions on the email list, for example).  If so,
discuss what that policy should be.  (Portland has such a policy:
http://wiki.freegeek.org/index.php/On_List_Decisions_Policy)

* Decide if we should have a "Carryover Policy" and if so, what that
policy should be.  The carryover policy ensures that orphaned tasks
are identified and assigned to a new owner if necessary.  Portland's
policy (from http://wiki.freegeek.org/index.php/Carryovers) is:

"When we review commitments - if an item is not completed or in
progress, the person responsible should say if

  1. they need help (ask for a volunteer to share the commitment)
  2. the task should be reassigned (ask for a volunteer)
  3. the task should be dropped (ask council for approval; council may deny)"
