Attending: Metz, Weinraub, Choudhury, Vinopal

We discussed 2 activities and outlined next steps:

• DEVELOP A membership strategy and implementation plan (including risk assessment) that supports the financial sustainability of Fedora

• Could possibly be done by Michele. Fedora gets a % of his time.

• To Do: Evviva will find out if we can get a % of Michele’s time to work with us on this

  • Evviva Weinraub sent an email to Erin on 9/24. 
    

  • Erin Tripp wrote back on 9/30. Mic has time in Oct/Nov.  They have asked for clarification of the meeting schedule, timeline, and expectations.  Mic will be out of the office December & January. There is no expectation of additional cost, but it may need to be reassessed after our first few meetings.   
    

• This could be taken over by the Fedora Membership Task Force:

• To do: Sayeed will propose this at their next meeting on 9/25.  

• ARTICULATE The current governance process:

• Defining roles & responsibilities will be important for the rest of the work of this Governance Task Force.

• Need to define of roles or the following groups/entities who have responsibility for some aspect of Fedora governance:

• Fedora Steering

• Fedora Leaders

• Fedora Committers

• Committers & Leaders joint calls

• Task forces of steering or leaders (e.g., membership TF, vision & strategy task forces)

• Duraspace staff: David & Andrew

• Community product owners (major stakeholder communities)

• Duraspace board

• To do: Jennifer gather info from Wiki. For info not available ask David & Andrew to write up how these groups work (governance, how people get appointed/elected to the groups, list roles & responsibilities) - due to Governance TF in mid Oct if possible - Jennifer Vinopal sent email to David and Andrew on 9/22/18

  • Jennifer Vinopal heard back from David on 9/24/18. Task is DONE.
