Agenda

TimeItemWhoNotes from the Meeting
5 minConvene & roll call


Off-schedule meeting called to discuss the name change proposal of the Plexus program
10 minReview action items from previous meetings (see above)

All

Review and approve past meeting minutes:

15 minJuly Board Meeting: discussionAll

Container able to run FDC3 applications. Would mean a change of scope for the Plexus program and require consequential name change

Proposal was made in July. Change of scope document was circulated for review amongst participants in this program. 

Board meeting was interesting; there was considerably more push back than expected. Atmosphere was quite hostile from some board members. Instead of accepting or rejecting it, a proposal was made to give the program some time to work on the name change proposal.

25 minChartIQ: [JIRA] (CONTRIB-52) Secure Electron AdapterAll

Recent CONTRIB from ChartIQ.

Question is: 

  1. Is there any other feedback from the board or from FINOS about the outcomes?
    • Consensus from the board: the question is whether broadening the Plexus program scope is "putting the cart before the horse" in terms of proposing the name change before the CONTRIB came in
    • There was also some questions about how much buy-in there will be from other organizations
  2. If we accept the ChartIQ CONTRIB, does that mean we can proceed with the reframing of the program?
    • historically, the process should start from a problem being identified

Actions:

  • re-do proposal and figure out who's supporting it and why
  • do some backroom socialising
  • ask to push back deadline
