Moderator: Pierre-Charles

Participants: Claudia, Frank, Jean-Yves, Pierre-Charles

Agenda:

• next moderator:
• Status report:

• Last news about Heidelberg meeting.
• acceptation of ghoti: accepted
• Status report: Claudia integrated our contributions to the FAQ. No problem.

• Others:
• New way of managing applications:

General agreement on the poll system tested that week. The polls will be established there as described. The poll is consultative and should be validated by the following BoD.

Action plan:

• Proposal from Pierre-Charles to change the text of majority decision from "2.) decision about membership (accept and exclude members): 2/3 of all votes of present+represented members allowed to vote"

To "2.) decision about membership (accept and exclude members): 2/3 of decision-making votes of present+represented members allowed to vote"

In first case, a vote 3yes:1no:4no-opinion equals to a refusal of the application. With that proposal the same vote would bring to an acceptation.

• Pierre-Charles will especially work on trying to reach conclusions (at least partial ones) with the discussions running in the forum.

Meeting ends: 21:20
