State your intended meeting items that will discussed and possibly voted on in item 15. [2018-01-07 20:10] No meeting items pertaining to the annual meeting from me. [2018-01-07 20:11] Or, maybe Pretorian-1: Review of last year's items and the organization's management of them [2018-01-07 20:11] I will allow five minutes for additional thought, or if you wish to continue to next item, just write "continue" [2018-01-07 20:11] outside of deciding to keep up with monthly meetings or not nothing from me [2018-01-07 20:12] ok, let's say that's Crise-1. [2018-01-07 20:12] (it's a good point) [2018-01-07 20:12] Any points from poy/cologic? [2018-01-07 20:12] nothing from me for the annual meeting. [2018-01-07 20:12] I have no items pertaining to this annual meeting. [2018-01-07 20:13] Item 6 in the by-laws: a) Announce the board's organization story for the last year. b) Announce the accounting and economic state for the last year. [2018-01-07 20:13] Regarding item A, this will be discussed further in Item 15, Pretorian-1 [2018-01-07 20:13] Regarding item B, the following is the financial state. [2018-01-07 20:13] The organization has received money through PayPal and in 2018-01-06 17:46 (CET), the current balance was 277.82 EUR (€). [2018-01-07 20:13] The purchase was for 299.85 EUR (€). [2018-01-07 20:14] copied the wrong thing, wait [2018-01-07 20:14] Here: [2018-01-07 20:14] The organization has received money through PayPal and in 2018-01-06 17:46 (CET), the current balance was 277.82 EUR (€). There have been one outgoing purchase, and that was of the OVH server that the server the organization uses. The domain cost is not included in that, but will be in 2018. The purchase was for 299.85 EUR (€). The total amount the organization has accumulated over this year was therefore 277.82+299.85=577.67 EUR (€). The organization has received its money through membership fees and donations. The information received from the Swedish taxation service is that there are no outstanding items to DCNF's submission for 2017. (0 € in tax etc) [2018-01-07 20:14] I have nothing further to add to this, so I think that concludes item 6, unless other board members (Crise and cologic) have anything additional to add. [2018-01-07 20:15] (domain is now transferred, per above.) [2018-01-07 20:15] I have nothing additional to add. [2018-01-07 20:15] Continuing. [2018-01-07 20:15] likewise [2018-01-07 20:15] Item 7 in the by-laws: regarding auditor, the board has internally audited purchases and incoming transactions and due to the low amount of outgoing purchases (one, 1), an external auditor has not deemed necessary. [2018-01-07 20:15] Item 8 in the by-laws: discharing the board of responsibility. [2018-01-07 20:16] (Discharge = yes, means that the board should be replaced altogether). [2018-01-07 20:16] no [2018-01-07 20:16] no [2018-01-07 20:16] no [2018-01-07 20:16] no [2018-01-07 20:16] 4 votes for no [2018-01-07 20:16] Item 9 in the by-laws: the member fees. [2018-01-07 20:16] State now if you wish to propose a different amount, than the current 10 Euros. [2018-01-07 20:16] 10€ is fine for me at least. [2018-01-07 20:16] likewise [2018-01-07 20:17] Likewise, 10€ seems fine. [2018-01-07 20:17] it's fine. [2018-01-07 20:17] 4 votes for keeping the member fees the same. [2018-01-07 20:17] Item 10 in the by-laws: Establishment of eventual plan for the organization and treatment of the budget for the coming year. [2018-01-07 20:17] I propose that the eventual plan shall be discussed in item 15, together with all remaining items for the organization. (the same for the budget) [2018-01-07 20:18] Pretorian-1?

Each person nominated will have their own voting period. [2018-01-07 20:19] (say a person's name to NOMINATE them, then we'll vote on it) [2018-01-07 20:19] Pretorian [2018-01-07 20:19] Crise [2018-01-07 20:19] cologic [2018-01-07 20:20] Pretorian, cologic and Crise are nominated (others may continue to be nominated).

[2018-01-07 20:21] cologic is elected to the board. [2018-01-07 20:21] If you wish for Crise to be elected in the board, write his name or yes or +1. If you do not, write -1 or no. [2018-01-07 20:21] +1 [2018-01-07 20:21] +1 [2018-01-07 20:21] +1 [2018-01-07 20:21] +1 [2018-01-07 20:21] 4 votes for Crise to be elected to the board.

Each person nominated will have their own voting period. [2018-01-07 20:21] poy [2018-01-07 20:22] do we have someone besides poy to nominate? [2018-01-07 20:22] No, so we can just vote now. [2018-01-07 20:22] If you wish for poy to be elected in the supplementary board, write his name or yes or +1. If you do not, write -1 or no. [2018-01-07 20:22] +1 [2018-01-07 20:22] +1 [2018-01-07 20:22] +1 [2018-01-07 20:22] +1 [2018-01-07 20:22] 4 votes for poy to be elected to the supplementary board. [2018-01-07 20:22] poy is elected to the supplementary board. [2018-01-07 20:22] The supplementary board is now complete and consist of poy. [2018-01-07 20:22] Item 15 in the by-laws: I will now go over each item in the proposals set in 5 in the order they were brought up. The person that brought it up has the floor. [2018-01-07 20:23] Let's do Crise-1 first, regarding scheduling of montly meetings. [2018-01-07 20:23] First, do we keep it up, if we do will we stick to the schedule? [2018-01-07 20:23] This is bascially the same as last year, with "Pretorian-1: Scheduling of recurring meetings and timetables". [2018-01-07 20:23] I think it has served us well. [2018-01-07 20:24] Second, is there something you'd wish for me/us to do differently [2018-01-07 20:24] So I think we shall continue to have it monthly, with the 1st Sunday of the month. [2018-01-07 20:24] I think we need to coordinate better through e-mails beforehand, like a few days before, whether we shall have the meeting or not. Like, just send a mail? [2018-01-07 20:25] Or at least people should send a mail if they *can't* make it. [2018-01-07 20:25] I agree [2018-01-07 20:25] I believe last year the plan was for me to be more pro-active regarding this stuff [2018-01-07 20:26] so far it only happened for December :) [2018-01-07 20:26] hehe [2018-01-07 20:26] So mail when you can't attend, yeah? [2018-01-07 20:26] Seems reasonable. [2018-01-07 20:27] that would be great, I may or may not still send a reminder to dcnf@dcbase.org if I recall [2018-01-07 20:27] Yep, still good to do. [2018-01-07 20:28] sure. [2018-01-07 20:28] All right, let's move on. [2018-01-07 20:28] Pretorian-1: Review of last year's items and the organization's management of them [2018-01-07 20:29] This is basically two parts: 1) reviewing any last year's items and 2) discussing what the organization shall put its efforts onto (budget wise). [2018-01-07 20:29] (open floor) [2018-01-07 20:29] For 1) I believe we have no outstanding "last year's items", that we don't normally address during the monthly meeting. [2018-01-07 20:30] 2) The budget for the coming year will be for the OVH server and for the domain (which is now owned by the organization). [2018-01-07 20:30] progress :) [2018-01-07 20:30] hehe [2018-01-07 20:32] So for 1) or 2) do people have any comment? [2018-01-07 20:32] re budget, the donations list needs updating... sort of related, as it was done around the annual meeting last if I recall [2018-01-07 20:32] otherwise no [2018-01-07 20:32] I have no further comments on (1) or (2). [2018-01-07 20:32] Perhaps that is something we (I) need to address/do before/after each monthly meeting? [2018-01-07 20:33] But yes, you're accurate. [2018-01-07 20:33] Kind of need a checklist to start to follow. [2018-01-07 20:33] Before/after each monthly meeting. [2018-01-07 20:33] I will make sure it is updated today. [2018-01-07 20:34] that would be nice :), I mean you can find them from the paypal emails but that is a hassel [2018-01-07 20:34] I can just login into Paypal :P [2018-01-07 20:34] yeah, which is why you doing it is great [2018-01-07 20:34] All right, will do so. [2018-01-07 20:34] as opposed to say me, as the "webmaster" :P [2018-01-07 20:34] Let's move on. [2018-01-07 20:34] Item 16, the last item, is "additional items", so the floor's open. [2018-01-07 20:34] Does anyone have anything they wish to be included in this annual meeting's discussion? [2018-01-07 20:35] I don't have anything. [2018-01-07 20:35] I don't have anything. [2018-01-07 20:35] no, we can cover any additional stuff separate from the annual meeting no need to include it in the protocol I think [2018-01-07 20:35] Yes [2018-01-07 20:35] All right. If there's nothing else to discuss I guess we can conclude this annual DCNF meeting? [2018-01-07 20:35] all good here. [2018-01-07 20:36] scheduling the next annual meeting will happen in Dec [2018-01-07 20:36] I assume [2018-01-07 20:36] Yes [2018-01-07 20:36] This will conclude the 2018-01-07 annual meeting of DCNF, thank you all.
