Before discussing the specifics of [[Oversight_Board#Additional_roles_within_Sugar_Labs|appointed positions]] (executive director, ombudsman, treasurer, and liaisons to the various Sugar teams and [[Sugar_Labs/Governance#Committees|committees]]) we got into a discussion of by-laws and process. We decided that we did not have a concrete set of rules governing our various decision-making processes, e.g., what constitutes a quorum, etc. so we unanimously agreed to the form a Rules Committee (Mel and Tomeu) that will report back on recommendations at the next board meeting. In parallel, Adam agreed to contact Bert regarding the ombudsman position and Walter agreed to contact David regarding the Treasurer position.

We discussed the DP process, but not the specifics of the [[Decision_panels/SOAS|SoaS DP]]. Several motions were made regarding setting time-limits on DPs and much of the discussion was focused on the merits of having a DP mechanism at all. We agreed to continue the discussion at the next meeting (and we expect to get at least a preliminary report from the active DP at that meeting).
