Linux Foundation meetings involve participation by industry competitors, and it is the intention of the Linux Foundation to conduct all of its activities in accordance with applicable antitrust and competition laws. It is therefore extremely important that attendees adhere to meeting agendas, and be aware of, and not participate in, any activities that are prohibited under applicable US state, federal or foreign antitrust and competition laws.

Examples of types of actions that are prohibited at Linux Foundation meetings and in connection with Linux Foundation activities are described in the Linux Foundation Antitrust Policy available at http://www.linuxfoundation.org/antitrust-policy. If you have questions about these matters, please contact your company counsel, or if you are a member of the Linux Foundation, feel free to contact Andrew Updegrove of the firm of Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the Linux Foundation.

MoM Chris opens the meeting at 15:30 BST

Review of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Chris suggests reviewing the MOU with the British Computer Society (BCS). Alex explains the only change requested by the legal team was to change "agree" to "decide" in the MOU. Chris and Sean discuss the importance of the MOU and the working group mechanism for collaboration. Alex outlines his responsibility to find relevant experts within the BCS for the working group.

Discussion on Policy Radar and Regulatory Landscape Chris introduces the concept of the policy radar and its importance for the Green Software Foundation (GSF). Daniel from NTT DATA explains the focus on climate disclosures and regulatory deadlines. Chris emphasizes the need for a shared calendar of events to stay informed about upcoming regulations. Sean suggests creating a timeline and specification to mitigate the impact of future policies.

Collaboration and Next Steps Chris and Sean discuss the importance of a joint statement from both organizations. Alex mentions the need to create a shared agenda and send it to Chris for distribution. Sean suggests scheduling the next meeting in October or early November. Chris and Alex agree to continue discussions outside the meeting to finalize the details.

Closing Remarks and Next Meeting Sean confirmed that the next meeting will be in two weeks, on September 3rd.
