Hi All - two things for action on the CEO recruitment, the first for
everyone action, the second for approval. Then one for info.

*1. FYA the announcement and CEO role is live

*Great new CEO role at Open Knowledge.  I though you might be interested or
know people that are. Please do consider it or forward it when you have a
moment.*

2.  *For agreement* We didn't really talk about the *recruitment process*
or how we would do the recruitment as a board.  What the "old board"
thought is that we probably need a smaller group to guide and help Shireen
and I with this.  That means long listing, shortlist, first round
interviewing etc.

Tim and I discussed this today, and having reached out to a few people what
we suggest is in addition to *Shireen and me, Vicky, Rufus and Helen could
form this recruitment sub-committee.  Does that sound okay?*

Others are clearly welcome if you have the time in Sept and Oct but I fear
that won't be insubstantial.  Also Tim and I have our beady eyes on you for
the other sub-committee we discussed which is the opportunity
development/fundraising one.

3. *FYI* We have a *CEO recruitment process paper *(which old board has
seen) on the processes which has additional timelines in it.  Shireen will
share this, but I guess the aim is that we use that to kick of the first
meeting of the CEO recruitment group in early Sept.

Many thanks
Karin
