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.

As the ASF grows in number of paid positions and is working to secure more sponsors, we should adopt a well-known financial conflict of interest policy. This is important to ensure that we have clear and consistent disclosures internally of financial interests in officer/director roles, as well as to show potential donors that we're following best practices for fiscal responsibility. I suggest the IRS example policy, which many non-profits use: https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1023#en_US_2018_publink100061018 https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/form-1023-purpose-of-conflict-of-interest-policy This also includes an annual review statement, which should be simple to automate and is also reported in filing our 990s. By general consent, this discussion will continue on the lists.

There are concerns about the necessity for and the overhead involved in establishing and reporting on COI policy. @Shane: continue to discuss establishing a COI policy on board@
