= Matters Arising =
Not had terms of engagement yet. Should follow up after AGM etc.
Brian to check up on the consultants enquiry
== Reports on enquiries to board ==
One from Microsoft, about open data. More details later but likley after June. Happy for Rob to continue and await their proposal.
ODI contact about a grant, all directors still needing to read it properly.
Brian approached via Mapbox about a drone company. They operate training and compliance programmes. Likely to turn this into an OSM UK working group about drones.
== Finacial report ==
New coporate member signed up but not invoiced. A couple more members.
For finances, should have everything in order for filing.
How is money for the camera rental being managed. ACTION: Jon to ask Rob.
Post-meeting clarification from Rob: Money for camera rental is paid in to our PayPal via a webpage (unlinked so as to not have people pay without first contacting us). I then send it and pay the return postage with my own money. Finally I claim this back from OSM UK as a bank transfer (via Jon). [Jon confirmed he has seen the payment come in]
== CIC Annual Report ==
Brian thanks us for feedback.
Question: circulate it in same form to members, or just extract the report. Suggested the latter, as the form doesn't offer anything else.
== Corporate members ==
Need to focus on list of orgs to contact and add extra ones
== Membership report ==
69 members now. That would make quorum be 7. Deadline to sign-up and get voting rights is 20th April, fast approaching.
Members fees should be discussed later, when we have time before AGM 2019.
== App ==
Nothing new to report
== AGM Voting ==
Some confusion, about when and what resolutions can be proposed.
More worried about getting any nominations for board.
ACTION: each director to write a sentence about "what being director has meant to me & to the community"
This could go in newsletter to encourage people.
Brian: propose we address more than 2 nominations (how to handle), after nominations close.
Jon: propose next board be 1st Thursday (3rd May) for various reasons/help.
Proposal of meeting date ageed.
== AGM Planning ==
Do we need materials/equipment?
ACTION: Greg to discuss sign-up method. Planning. Greg will make thread in Loomio (public).
With activities, workshop, timetable to discuss too.
== Newsletter ==
Jon: wanted to publicise the AGM, as discussed already. Needs to be in next 7 days.
Brian: Everybody get your director sentences in, so Rob can include that.
== AOB ==
Registered address needs to change, need a new one.
ACTION: Brian to ask about options, including asking Andy.
Meeting finished 20:25.
Thanks all.
Money for camera rental is paid in to our PayPal via a webpage (unlinked so as to not have people pay without first contacting us). I then send it and pay the return postage with my own money. Finally I claim this back from OSM UK as a bank transfer (via Jon).
Rob
Thanks Rob (and now I remember there was a paypal payment of £11). I think it would be good to minute that process in place of "Action: Jon ask Rob".
Adam didn't make it so "late" can be removed
AGM voting, I believe we agreed to my proposal of bringing forward the next board meeting? So should be minuted as "agreed".
Apart from that, minutes OK with me.
I edited my post with those points Jon.
We just need to make sure Rob and Adam notice the 3rd May for our next directors' meeting.
I noticed that we are a bit behind with minutes on osmuk.org. Hold on... February was created as a page but not linked to, so I have done this now. Need March adding now approved.
JOn
Please add Change of Registered Address to the agenda please (Andy R is moving)
Regards
Brian
