SUPPORT TO ATTEND OSonOS: Process for Requests

The deadline for funding requests is 15 May. Requests will be reviewed by the Board at the 27 May meeting. Three thousand dollars has been budgeted. Lisa, Access Queen, will announce the process on the OSList.

Also as a result of the extensive discussion on this item, income generation will be discussed at the next meeting.

BYLAWS

Further clarification is needed on the legal requirements of the State of Washington and 501c3/IRS for bylaws. It was reaffirmed that OSI will function with an open space philosophy/model while still meeting the requirements. Prior to the next meeting each Board member will review (and comment on wiki) to the suggested bylaw revisions. When the Board has completed draft bylaws they will be shared with the membership.

WORLD SERVICE MARKET

Michael will put out an announcement and Peggy will send it to the larger OS list & community.

EDUCTIONAL SUMMIT

There has been no activity since the last meeting. This may be revived in Halifax.

Following the on-line discussion/decision of Michael’s proposal, he was sent $1500 for his webmaster work.
