Overview of proposed agenda

Discussion of day 1 afternoon items

Articulating Board Member Commitment

Each Board Member will be invited to weigh in on what they consider their level of commitment and availability to OSMF and OSM at the present time. At the end of this session board members will have a deeper and more explicit understanding of both the motivations and availability of each of their peers.

Committing to Greater Transparency

As the board meets to address organizational business, we’ll focus first on seeing how we can make a greater commitment to transparency to the OSM Community. At the end of this session, Board will have better view of transparency within the OSMF, and possibly several concrete modifications to the practice of transparency.
