Term limits
Brief discussion, probably a good idea but we are not implementing at this time
Is this an issue with Plone Foundation Board?
Probably not as Board member power is pretty limited
What can we do to encourage people to step into Board positions?
Maybe a direct personal approach?
What else can we do to find new board members:
maybe each one of us should find someone to talk to
cultural mores sometimes require face to face
Diversity is a real issue though, but we have a fairly accurate representation of our community on the Board
Building enthusiasm, public events, bring the community together are all elements of success for encouraging diversity
Recording/Streaming Steering Circle meetings
LiveStream and/or recording? Would need input from the security team
Maybe it could limit people's openness during discussions
Minutes are recorded already
The decision is to not record the meetings
Continued Business
