[OSM-legal-talk] OSM Foundation / Domains / Trademark

[Peter Miller]

The August of September minutes have been published. Thank you.

Fyi, the draft minutes of the latest meeting are behind password
authentication. Can the requirement for authentication be removed to make it
generally accessible? I don't know if I have a password as a foundation
member, but I don't wish to have to remember another one without good
reason.

I notice that the October minutes have not (and also nor have the missing
January ones and the AGM 08 minutes - I mention these only for
completeness). Are these to be published in the next few days?

I think we are keen for some firm dates from the foundation re the transfer
of domain names, trade marks and other project assets. With respect, the
words 'soon', 'shortly' and 'when we get around to sorting the paperwork'
have not happened as with any speed in the past (The Jan08 minutes are still
due to be published 'shortly'). Can we have some dates by which this will be
completed?

Btw, is there a good reason why one can not search the pdf documents or copy
text from them? I found it confusing that one always comes back with a
'nothing found' for any search. It is also inconvenient when one wants to
quote from the minutes.

Regards,



Peter
