What the board has decided about this committee or office, and the reports it filed, most recent first. Generated from the published minutes.
These categorised views are best effort. They are read from the published minutes by a program, and what it can attribute to a committee depends on how each resolution happens to be worded — so a page may be incomplete, and nothing here overrides the minutes themselves. The raw minutes are the source of truth.
Please note. The board approves the minutes of a meeting at the meeting after it, and they are published then - so the most recent meeting is not usually here. ASF Members can read the draft in the board's own repository until it is.

Roy wants to be able to distribute access to the ASF corporate records and business accounts, including basic things like a shipping account and a teleconferencing account. We need to have a low-barrier access to setting up organizational meetings, whether that be in the form of on-line access to the office or designating a specific office person who will be responsible for setting these things up for us [responsible as in they can place orders and coordinate minor things without having to jump through hoops]. It was agreed that Roy will investigate this via a contact in Oracle, regarding their Oracle Small Business offering: <http://www.oraclesmallbusiness.com/>
Tabled due to lack of quorum.

Possible solutions:
- allow one of our companies to host the ASF office and identify a
person (part-time) who will be responsible to take care of the
organizational requests on short-order
- contract an outside service to provide a virtual office
Duncan mentioned <http://www.oraclesmallbusiness.com/>, so maybe
we can get Oracle to donate something?
Due to time constraints, it was agreed that this would be discussed
on the board mailing list. However, all agreed for the need for something
to enhance, supplement or replace our current situation.
