''1)''
''From''
"These rules were originally agreed on by the board on 2012-11-04, and most recently updated on 2022-01-20, and will remain in force until they are replaced by a new set of rules, or abolished altogether."
''to''
"These rules were originally agreed on by the board on 2012-11-04, and updated as documented at [https://osmfoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Board_Rules_of_Order&action=history in page history] and will remain in force until they are replaced by a new set of rules, or abolished altogether."
''to ensure self documenting info (claimed date is actually wrong right now) and direct people to place where edit info can be found. It is visible also to logged out users.''
''This removes wrong info, reduces risk of future mistakes and reduces future workload.''
''Self-dcocumenting features are nice, as long as they work and I think it is safe to expect it here.''
''2)''
''Change''
"All important internal board communication should take place either during board meetings (see next section), or on GitLab and the board email list. IRC chat is also an important, but ephemeral channel for participation."
''to''
"All important internal board communication should take place either during board meetings (see next section), or on board issue tracker and the board email list. Chat is also an important, but ephemeral channel for participation."
''This is prerequisite to change IRC/Element/Matrix setup to Element/Matrix setup that will have less moving parts and maybe will work more reliably.''
''And better communication that less often breaks down for technical reasons is a desirable functionality.''
''3) Add 1.1 point linking https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/FOSS_Policy by adding''
"## Note that open source, nonproprietary, functional platform will remain preferred over proprietary functional one. See [[FOSS Policy]]."
''between point 1. and 2. ("##" will be formatted as nested 1.1 point)''
