;PENDING MOTION 2016-36: to vote on each motion proposed by a member, dropping the current practice of requiring a seconding before voting.  

;PENDING MOTION 2016-35: to agree the following procedure for all future monthly SLOB meetings: the chair will confirm the meeting meets quorum; the chair will make any announcements submitted to them before the meeting; the chair will announce the first motion pending a vote on that day; each present SLOB member will announce their vote; the chair will announce the outcome of the motion; the chair will announce the next motion, until all motions are voted on; the chair will invite everyone attending to an open discussion of any topic until the meeting ends at the time scheduled.

;AGREED MOTION 2016-34: Whereas it is the general policy of Sugar Labs to retain all GSoC mentoring stipends in the General Fund, if a mentor asks a GSoC Admin (for example in 2016, Walter or Lionel) to pay a stipend to a mentor, their share of the stipend amount will be disbursed without further motions to approve the spending. The share is calculated from the total awarded for the GSoC slot by Google, minus 10% (as all Sugar Labs income is donated to Software Freedom Conservancy for organisational services), minus 5% (retained for Sugar Labs General Funds),  divided by the number of mentors for the project. For example, in a year with 6 slots and 10 mentors at $500, the total revenue is $3,000; 10% for Conservancy is $300 and 5% for Sugar Labs is $150, leaving a total of $2,550 or $255 per mentor.
