WMF Board Governance Committee 2014-2015/28-8-14

BGC meeting 28/8/14

Agenda items for the year edit

Board search: Finding three new board members for the board-appointed positions.
- We want to try to find all 3, or at least: find the first member but have a shortlist we can use in 2015
- but we also want to onboard each new member separately as they join
Onboarding process: Preparing material to introduce new board members to the culture and practices of the board (using IRC, the wiki, and how to interact with the community).
Elections committee: Starting the committee that will facilitate the election process in summer 2015.
Advisory group: Reviewing the role of the advisory group.

Board search:
- First board member should ideally be available by December 2014/January 2015 -- the Jan/Feb meeting will be their first in-person meeting
- Others are required by December 2015
Elections committee -- start in Jan, end before May
Work on advisory group -- starting in March 2015 / later
