Single Issue Board of Trustees Meeting: 12 July 2024

Date: 12 July 2024 (thank you for indicating your availability via When2Meet) Time: 13:00 UTC Zoom link + passcode: (see calendar invite) Chair: @drjwbaker
Members: @acrymble @amsichani @spapastamkou @JMParr @rivaquiroga @ZoeLeBlanc Publishing Manager: @anisa-hawes Minutes: @charlottejmc

Hello all,

I'm opening this Issue on behalf of @drjwbaker to represent a forthcoming Single Issue BoT dedicated to arrangements for renewal or cessation of Trustees' terms.

Agenda

1. Arrangements for renewal of Trustees' terms
1. AOB: how and in what form to discuss IPP rates
1. AOB Infrastructure update (Project Manager)

The remit of the Board of Directors is restricted to the terms of ProgHist Ltd, which - broadly speaking - supports the the financial and legal business of The Programming Historian and its Members (that is, the Editorial Board https://github.com/programminghistorian/jekyll/issues/1405#issuecomment-538298387).

Notes

Per our Articles of Association (hit 'View PDF' link) and gov.uk guidance on running a company we'd like to highlight a few notes about procedures for the meeting:

Our quorum is 3 (Article 9.1) and our max size 7 (Article 13)
We vote, and in split decisions the chair has the casting vote (Article 10.1)
We need to keep records of decisions (Article 12) and resolutions (GovUK)

Many thanks for arranging this @anisa-hawes. I have written to Trustees asking those whose terms are expiring to provide information on their future contributions (with a timeline that allows for collation and circulation of papers prior to the meeting).
