The Governance Committee has been in contact with the Software Freedom Conservancy about the proposed membership agreement, and Bradley Kuhn of the Conservancy has been engaged in discussions on the Evergreen governance mailing list. The major differences from the first draft that we submitted to the Conservancy are: * Rather than three representatives between the Evergreen project and the Conservancy, the Conservancy strongly prefers a single liaison to avoid communication overhead. The Governance Committee generally approved this change. * Now that we understand how the Conservancy draws its percentage of donations, and there is the likelihood that conference funds and pooled development funds will flow through the Conservancy account, we're leaning towards offering 5% of project funds rather than 10%. The Conference Planning Committee will budget accordingly. * The wording of the agreement seems close to completion; Bradley Kuhn from the Conservancy will attend the next governance meeting (in January) to discuss any remaining concerns and hopefully come to an agreement. One of the last concerns is describing how the Evergreen Governance Committee (in the agreement referred to as the Evergreen Oversight Board) is replaced/changed/elected, but a suggested rewording from Sylvia Watson (Indiana) should enable us to bootstrap that process. Minutes of the last Governance Committee meetings are available from: * (2010-11-16) http://rscel.evergreen-ils.org/node/1539 * (2010-12-14) http://rscel.evergreen-ils.org/node/1540
