AGM date and announcement

Discussion on proposal "to schedule the Annual General Meeting for December 10th (Saturday), with voting starting on December 3rd and deadline for nominations on November 26th".
Acceptance by all of the proposed AGM date & of the announcement plan, no special resolutions are needed. Regarding the installation of the advisory board, no special resolution is necessary, as it has no formal power.
The AGM will take place on IRC, as in the previous year, and the announcement will be made via CiviCRM.

Corporate membership

Current corporate members will have the benefits of the Corporate Membership Bronze tier, till the expiration of their current membership. Then they will be approached by Dorothea regarding selection of one of the new Corporate Membership tiers.

Donation drive

  • An announcement will be made regarding matching donations by Mapbox.
  • There was discussion on whether the cash donations worked out during SotM and SotM Asia. Around 49 GBP were raised at SotM Asia, but that amount included 2 new memberships. SotM was better with around 285 GBP raised.
  • There was a discussion on whether to ask HOT and Missing Maps about adding a donation drive banner to their sites. Missing Maps probably doesn't have a legal identity, so HOT will be asked (and more specifically, Tyler).
  • Additionally, Grant has a script to check referrals for donation site, so referrals can be checked later.

Dorothea's role with WGs

Kate will introduce Dorothea to the WGs
