  • Meeting channel: Skype
  • Minutes channel: (link redacted)
  • Attendees: Pru, Tom, Gideon, Sam, Robert.
  • Apologies: Steve, Julian

Previous meeting

Two previous meetings' minutes required approval:

Business arising and actions

Sam to pay Miraheze $50 and request reimbursement.
All Xero users need to register for 2FA within the next month. Google Authenticator app gets around the SMS requirement (for easier use overseas). Membership register: who has access, responsibility, what’s the process. Renewals are being sent out under various names (depending on who raised the invoice in Xero). We need more than one membership officer, but we need to be clear about the process. Current arrangement is because the previous Secretary was both Secretary and Treasurer. Some data was lost with handovers between past Committee members. More discussion is required; we’ll do this at the face-to-face in Melbourne. Robert can grant access to the current register (on Google Drive).

Action

Pru to produce procedures about the membership process.

REPORTS

President's report

F2F committee meeting, 9 - 11 November in Melbourne
program drafting https://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Strategic_Planning/2018-19
confirm travel arrangements (link redacted)
Friday evening: dinner at Coffeehead, afterwards to meeting-room, where we’re got projector etc. so can hopefully dial Julian in if he’s available. Saturday: same meeting room from as soon as reasonable after breakfast. Focus on the Community Capacity documentation. After lunch, working on topics from previous 2 sessions, esp. around strategic plan. Hopefully get Julian to join as well.
Sunday: Shrine in the morning (no passes, so just general attendance). Public Wikimedia meetup at 12:30, venue t.b.a. but it’ll be in the city. Should we be focusing more on movement matters, rather than WMAU-specific things such as membership and Committee functioning, considering the visitors from NZ and WMF? Technical discussions/demonstrations.
Mike and Biota issues - VIP to include somewhere over weekend
Important to maintain awareness of what hats each of us is wearing for the weekend.
Summit 2019 (March) Berlin - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Summit_2019
Motion: That the WMAU policy be that the President attend these, with someone else chosen as a back-up in case they can’t attend. Needs to be decided by the end of the year.
