==Meeting agenda==
# '''Welcome New Member - Eric-Jan'''

==Notes==
# '''Organizational update'''
#* (Mark) Still waiting for non-profit approval from the IRS.
#* (Mark) Not sure if they are impacted by COVID-19, but we are at the minimum time predicted by our lawyer.
# '''Introduction from Eric-Jan'''
#* (Eric-Jan) Worked in Industry, saw WikiBase (WB) make an inspection tool for $5k that impressed me and I joined them.
#* (Eric-Jan) Wife is a lawyer and daughter going to school in the medical field.
#* (Eric-Jan) My strength is in Marketing and Strategy.
# '''Eric-Jan's outline for MWStake funding'''
#* (Eric-Jan) Shared [[:File:MWStakeholdersBoard-Presentation on Funding.pdf|his presentation]]
#* (Eric-Jan) The proposal uses the same method used at WB
#* (Eric-Jan) The process looks like a pyramid, from top down:
#*# Goal
#*#* Need is in the 10s of thousands
#*#* With the goal of financial independance
#*# Required
#*#* Is there a conflict with the WMF?
#*#** Currently, WB makes a monthly donation to WMF
#*#** Some donors currently give money to the WMF and may stop to give money to the MWStake. Is this a problem?
#*#** (Markus) No, Wikimedia Germany takes their own donations, WMF likes this autonomy
#*#** MWStake used to take grants from the WMF, this will allow us to stand on our own
#*#** In the future, MWStake can send excess money to the WMF
#*# How to
#*#* Can we allow donations to effect work?
#*#** (Lex) During the formation, I outlined [[MWStake incorporation/Individual statements#Lex Sulzer|a solution]] to define how voting, work, and payment can be handled
#*#* (Markus) We do have a wishlist of improvement to MW
#*#** (Markus) May need to repeat the survey, although it largely stays the same (ACL)
#*#* (Eric-Jan) With regards to Marketing here are some options:
#*#** [https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Main_Page Wikiapiary]
#*#** [[MW:Professional development and consulting|Professional development and consulting]]
#*#** Previous conference attendees
#*#**: (Cindy) I have the contact list for the previous EMWCons
#* {{Action}} Eric-Jan will make an "Action Plan" for the next meeting.
# '''Change to Bylaws'''
#* (Mark) Called a vote to change the notice for board meeting from 30 days to 15
#* The vote passed unanimously with the 7 board members present
#* {{Action}} Bryan to change the bylaws and send an output
#** (Bryan) This effects Section [[Bylaws#Notice must be sent to each Director 30 calendar days before a meeting of the Board of Directors.|5.6.3]], ''"Notice must be sent to each Director 30 calendar days before a meeting of the Board of Directors."''
#** (Bryan) However, Section [[Bylaws#Notice must be given to the Directors at least 30 calendar days before the Board of Directors may consider an amendment, supplement, or repeal of the Charter or these Bylaws.|3.2.2]] states, ''"Notice must be given to the Directors at least 30 calendar days before the Board of Directors may consider an amendment, supplement, or repeal of the Charter or these Bylaws."''
#** (Bryan) Our vote can be considered the notice to all, but we need to inform James and then change the Bylaws 30 days from the vote
#** {{Action}} Bryan will review the Bylaws to determine additional changes to discuss during the next meeting.
#* {{Action}} Mark to send out meeting invites.  The goal was to meet the Friday before the next MWStake meeting, which would make the Board Meeting April 24th.
# '''EMWCon thoughts'''
#* (Cindy) The conference attendees had a max of 26 in Zoom and 20 on YouTube (with some possible overlap)
#* (Cindy) Given the circumstances, I think it went very well.
#* (Bryan) I think it went amazingly well (thanks Cindy).  
#* (Bryan) We should aim to replicate the successful remote conference to all future in-person conferences and allow those that cannot attend in person to have a similar experience to this years virtual conference. 
#* (Cindy) The remote venue allowed more speakers from around the world
#* (Cindy) I liked Zoom as a platform even though it has some privacy issues and missed the mark slightly in some areas (breakout rooms open for attendees to enter/leave as they need).
