1, Any Public Risk report about "stacking" before elections and voting on important matters?
The Board noted the unusually high number of membership applications received since the last Board meeting. It was agreed that issues regarding the potential for membership stacking and capture are a matter for the Risk Committee to review and report to the Board in due course.
Membership Classes
auDA has two classes of members:
2.
17. Registry Operations for Direct Registrations – G Pongas & K Srinivasan absent
This matter has been deferred to a future meeting.
3. P Khoury noted that it is critical to gain the correct expertise and skills on the Board and that proper training should be provided to Board members who do not have much corporate governance experience. He also suggested end-of-meeting evaluations should take place on 1 item per meeting, to self-assess whether the Board is operating effectively and according to agreed values.
4. The Board agreed to increase the External Consultant budget item to $200,000.
