[nicoleabuhakmeh]

The Membership Committee will be having their monthly meeting on February 7th at 3pm Eastern.

If you are not a member of the committee, please leave your comment in the agenda.

Agenda Items

1. Membership Form update

   • Should this form be used for the DNF Champs program instead of general membership? Should the Membership be a proposal process similar to how a Project Application is?

2. Membership Submissions in Issues for review by committee.

   • New Community Member Welcome Message with updated links and verification points.

3. Elections - Nominating Committee

   • Should this Committee step in to starting the Election process for 2024?

I'll add meeting minutes in the usual place but here is the initial update:

Jess has returned and almost recovered from COVID (yes... after 4 years it got me).

Membership form

• @codehippie1 demoed the site he has set up.
• Next actions are to help him get it deployed in the DNF Azure subscription and hosted on website (either sitefinity iframe embed or URL redirect). It would be preferable to set up an deployment pipeline in something like GitHub Actions. @nicoleabuhakmeh need yours and the boards help to identify who can assist Aneesh with this final set up

Membership submssions done through issues

• both the be accepted. Will add to the issues directly

Nominating Committee

• Need to start timelines as last time was a struggle around summer holidays
• Membership committee happy to do the initial organisation again
• Need to get a past board member or someone stepping down to take part as part of the nomination committee for transfer of whats needed on the board.
• Asked to look into "reapplication" as Joe and I are at the end of our current term.

DNF Champions

• Will have it's own application form
• Can use same processes as membership application to start with
• We'd love to get this running in the next 6 months

@nicoleabuhakmeh you and I probably need to arrange a time to catch up and get some of this moving before the next membership committee. Would like Aneesh's form up and useable sooner rather than later.
