A proposal that I brought up at the in-person meeting, and which I plan to raise at the next Board Meeting, is for us to set up a newsletter to be circulated by a bot to interested people on-wiki say every fortnight or month. This is the kind of thing that could go into that. What do people here think to this idea?

In my opinion a poll is consultation of the community and is the most transparent way to see how a decision was made. It also doesn't take much effort to create and run.

I was thinking about this decision about whether to charge a memberhsip fee and I'm wondering if we ought to try and get more people's views on this before going ahead.
I don't remember this being discussed particularly during the election and although there's been some discussion on this email list, it strikes me as being quite a big decision that many more people will have a view on.
Should we organise some kind of poll on meta and contact all the people who have expressed an interest and encourage them to vote one way or another?
What do others think?
I don't think it's a particularly big deal, all it really affects is where we hold the AGM. I have no problem with the board making the decision (after consultation with the community, sure, but no need for a poll).
