[foundation-board] Charitable Incorporation ASAP

Mon Nov 30 09:47:38 UTC 2015

Dear all,

The agreement for Open Knowledge to become a charity is now urgent, given
Pavel's funding discussions. The deadline for resolving this is ASAP.

There is one query already raised: Karin said, in answer to the question of
what currently constitutes quorum for the Board, "2 / But is one of the
issue that I am wondering if we want to increase it in the new articles."

What are the opinions of others on this?

Are there any other questions to address before the resolution can be
passed?
