<div dir="ltr">G'day John,<div>All good for me, except...<div><br></div><div>2300 UTC is 1100AM Eastern Australian time (myself)* and 1300 NZT (Eion) and not as indicated.</div><div><br></div><div>On the Zoom note, yeah that seems to be the go.

The only option I had was to have a warm Chromebook on standby. Hopefully that'll go down as a plus for the IT Technician planning column for the gig heh.

<br>
Based on the responses to my previous question about when to hold the<br>
meeting, we'll do the board meeting on Saturday, April 17, 2021 at<br>
2300 UTC. According to my timezone math, that means 7:00 PM US<br>
Eastern or 6:00 PM US Central for those of us in the US and Sunday,<br>
April 18 at 8:00 AM for Peter and 11:00 AM for Eion.<br>
<br>
Unless someone has a better option, we'll use Zoom for the meeting<br>
again. Only I need to be logged in (as the host). Everyone else can<br>
use just the webapp version unless you're joining from an Android or<br>
iOS device. The meeting will be recorded, primarily for Gary's<br>
benefit for preparing the minutes, but it will also be posted on the<br>
<a href="http://imfreedom.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">imfreedom.org</a> website. The details are here:<br>

<br>
Thus far I have the following for an agenda:<br>
<br>
IM Freedom 2021 Board Meeting Agenda<br>
<br>
Treasurer’s report from John<br>
<br>
Election of officers and board members<br>
Re-elect all officers to current positions<br>
President - John Bailey<br>
Vice President - Matthew Needham<br>
Secretary - Gary Kramlich<br>
Treasurer - John Bailey<br>
Re-elect everyone to the board<br>
John Bailey<br>
Matthew Needham<br>
Gary Kramlich<br>
Ethan Blanton<br>
Richard Laager<br>
Peter Lawler<br>
Eion Robb<br>
Colin Barrett<br>
<br>
Old Business<br>
Discussion of revival of charter in Delaware<br>
Discussion of Amazon Smile<br>
Infrastructure update from Gary<br>
<br>
New Business<br>
Pidgin has been accepted to the Google Summer of Code, this will be<br>
primarily driven by Gary and Elliott, but Eion and John will have<br>
some involvement, being backup organization admins and John being<br>
the IMF treasurer. Gary may wish to discuss further.<br>
<br>
Request for reimbursement to Gary for code-signing certificate.<br>
<br>
Request to authorize John to buy and reimburse himself for an Apple<br>
M1 Mac Mini for assisting Gary in MacOS development and testing.<br>
Estimating approximately $1200-1250 after taxes and shipping. We<br>
want an upgrade from the base model so that it remains useful<br>
longer and doesn’t succumb to the internal SSD being written to<br>
death with the base configuration. John is willing to put $300 in<br>
personally, plus cover shipping, so IMF expense will be about $900.<br>
<br>
Request for reimbursement to John for two Gandi domain purchase<br>
orders (Renew <a href="http://pidgin.im" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">pidgin.im</a>, <a href="http://adium.im" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">adium.im</a>, and <a href="http://adium.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">adium.org</a> and purchase<br>
<a href="http://pidginchat.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">pidginchat.com</a>) totalling $105.40.<br>
<br>
Amend by-laws to use John’s home address as the legal address of<br>
the corporation. (His address is already public record and subject<br>
to snail mail spam for other reasons, so this isn’t going to cause<br>
any issues for him.)<br>
<br>
<br>
If anyone needs to add to the agenda, please reply to the list and not<br>
to me directly.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
John<br>
