Hello,
Following previous discussions on the board list and on the wikimania irc channel, I would like to confirm that the board of WMF will hold a meeting on the 16th of july (ie, day immediately before Wikimania). Participants to that meeting will be * current board members * newly elected members * ED * (plus any person as necessary...).

You realise this clashes with the advisory board meeting? That was set for the 15th and 16th more than 2 months ago.

Hello,
This is embarassing...
I have only a vague memory that this meeting would occur. I remember it was discussed but I do not remember we were officially informed it would occur. So, I thought it would not.
I just went to look at http://advisory.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meeting_July_2008, and see that Pat Hughes has been retained for the meeting. Was a budget approved on this ? Is the budget planned for one day or two days ? (15 or 16 ? or both ?)
We need to hold a board meeting and it can not happen after wikimania largely because Jimmy will not be available. I also do not want it to happen during Wikimania, as it will be at the expense of the time we can share with the community and will be necessarily a tiny short time. Wikimania is already such a crowded agenda for board members that it would not be fair to do that. So, there is only the days before which are left free.
What are the options ?

I don't know how AB's meetings go generally. If it is a meeting of only AB, then they could be at the same time probably, as there is no overlap in members. I don't know either how long a Board Meeting should take this time (don't know about agenda etc), which will also be of influence.

Hoi, It seems to me that it is exactly the advisory board and the board together that are to make headway on issues advise is needed on. Having the advisory board on its own talking among themselves is largely a waste of time and money. Thanks, GerardM

The budget is 2 days. Sue suggested Pat and that is part of the budget. Achal is working on finding external funding so that we wouldn't need to use any of the budget for travel costs. Also, advisory board members will try to fund their own travel as they did last year.
The plan was for meetings to last 2 days. I doubt 1 would be enough, but 1 and a half could be. Since all the Board of Trustee members would be at this, could the board meeting be held on the 14th? Having it the other way round wouldn't make sense since there's no need for AB members to be there an extra day. Alternatively, is half a day enough for the Board of Trustees meeting? If so, that could still happen the 16th, or we could have part of the AB meeting with the Board of Trustees present.
When are all the chapter meetings planned? Are those also likely to clash with this?

What is the agenda of the advisory board meeting ? Has it been drafted yet ?

No, and I also haven't spoken to Pat in any detail yet about what to plan for, so it's very open to change.
