Review and approve past minutes

Election process

  • Luis provided election results and feedback.
  • What to do to have more participation on election day.
    • Most people vote within the first 2, 3 days
    • 60% of active members participated in elections
  • Representation: gender and continent wise
  • Elections advertisement
    • Not necessarily on mail, but using other tools
  • Potential improvements to the election process:
    • nomination of charter member can be continuous
    • charter members can vote on the next election, so we can run charter elections and board in parallel
  • discussion about reaching out to members: email vs telegram vs FB
  • charter member nomination period takes a lot of effort and should be optimized
  • The board agreed to explore a new membership process in the next few months.

Results of election/ what it means to be a charter member

  • Perhaps reach out to more people to explain the role of charter members (e.g. video)
