<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><b>Minutes of Infrastructure Committee – 13-December-2023</b><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><b>Present:</b><span> </span>Ben Wilson,
Dean Coclin, I<span>ñ</span>igo Barreira, Paul Van Brouwershaven, Wayne Thayer, and Roman
Fischer<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Ben read the Note Well.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The major topic for discussion was the creation of procedures
documents for handling tasks related to new and existing members.<span> </span>I<span>ñ</span>igo asked whether anything could be added to Member
Tools to facilitate the processing of applications and onboarding of new members.<span> </span>The creation of a handbook for working group
chairs was also recommended. Process flows need
to consider applicants for full membership (Certificate Issuers and Certificate
Consumers), interested parties, associate members and probationary members. Procedures
need to address all possibilities and information needs to be collected for
which working group and subcommittees the member wants to join, the names of
voting representatives, etc. Checklist documents will be needed, as well as a
calendar that can be transitioned to a new working group chair when the
existing chair leaves office. (E.g. how would we track the 6-month probationary
period during a transition to new leadership?)<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I<span>ñ</span>igo said he would prepare a list of the documents of which
he is aware and provide a framework for dealing with the issues he encounters.<span> </span>We’ll need to prepare an outline of the
handbook. The handbook could be generic and useable by all working groups, with
appendices for things that specifically apply only to one working group.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Instructions
for the Member Tools are also needed. It’s
unclear how to update a person’s record if they leave a company. Also,
it was noted that there are a
couple of member self-management options that members should use, which
they should be able to find through links available on the wiki – one
using Member Tools and one using
a Google Form.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Paul also suggested that we transition from WordPress to GoHugo
(<a href="https://gohugo.io" style="color:rgb(5,99,193);text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">https://gohugo.io</a>). Then, we can manage the website’s
member lists, ballots, guideline documents, and minutes more easily using GitHub. He said he has had a favorable experience <span></span>doing so with another organization.<br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The meeting on December 27<sup>th</sup> is cancelled.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Meeting adjourned.</p>
