• Travel committee update
  • Philip: The new committee members have been appointed and notified. Currently waiting for a signal when Neil returns from vacation that they have signed their confidentiality agreements, then we can proceed with adding them to the wiki, RT, etc.

• Compensation committee proposal
  • The GNOME Foundation board is recommended by US law to have a compensation committee that evaluates the executive director's compensation package based on research of other comparable nonprofit organizations, and prepares a yearly report where they propose updates if applicable. This committee was created earlier this year and has now prepared a report, which was discussed among the board without the GNOME Foundation staff present.
