#Proposal for rules of removal and appointment of SLOB members (walterbender, 19:58:49)
#Treasurer motion
==GSoC==
Walter reported that we had 62 applications, of which 23 seem to be serious candidates, We will narrow the field down over the next week and submit a proposal to Google for the number of slots requested.
==i18n==
Tony led a discussion of the [[Translation_Proposal|Translation Manager]] role. Adam and Walter suggested a reporting schedule be added to the list of duties.
;Action: Tony will circulate a revised proposal ASAP for an email vote.
Due to the impasse regarding the manager role, we did not discuss any other i18n proposals at the meeting.
==Vision==
Lionel led a discussion regarding a update to the [[Vision_proposal_2016|Sugar Labs vision statement]]. It is a working document and edits are welcome.
==Removals==
Adam made a motion, seconded by Walter
;Motion: In keeping with the board 2010's decision on this matter from a different era, it was suggest that if a Board Member (1) fails to vote and attend pre-scheduled Board meetings for more than 12 weeks, (2) resigns or (3) dies, then the Board is empowered and encouraged to appoint a replacement for this seat. Finally, just a clarification that the Replacement Board Member would be required to defend their seat during the very next election.
The motion passed unanimously, 7 votes in favor.
==Treasurer==
We briefly discussed a proposal by GrannieB to create a treasurer position. It was pointed out that we have such a position already, but it is unfilled. No suggestions were made as to how we fill that position.
There was some discussion regarding whether or not to give the treasurer a discretionary spending budget. We await an argument as to why this is necessary as no evidence was presented.
