			** Suggestion: ''Adopt the following meeting preparation/execution culture'': When requesting meeting agenda items from members, always try to obtain an item substance that is 80-100% ready to be decided on (in terms of direct implementation or whether it should get continued attention by the board/members). If the suggesting member is not the apt person for suggesting this substance, that member should obtain help from another member before the meeting. Having a "80-100% decision-mature" item substance speeds up processes and makes it easier for other members to actually engage with the topic at hand in a meaningful and efficient way for its concreteness. An example for this is https://mwstake.org/mwstake/wiki/MWStake_incorporation/Individual_statements#Lex_Sulzer.

			==MWStake incorporation==
			Bryan briefly discussed the status of MWStake's incorporation.
			* Applied for Rapid Grant, was delayed significantly, but now approved
			* Grant funds incorporation of legal entity (estimated cost = $2,000 and grant amount = $2,000)
			** Next phase will be filling for non-profit status (estimated cost = $1,500)
			* Working with a lawyer out of Pennsylvania
			* Application for Employee Identification Number (EIN) has been completed (required even for a non-profit w/o "employees")
			* Paid for legal advertisement required for incorporation (newspaper & journal) and corporate minute book (although our meeting will likely be captured in a wiki)


			==Board/Officer role/title selection==
			After some discussions, the following officer roles were agreed upon:
			* President - Mark Hershberger
			* Vice President - Markus Glaser (this role will be an addition to the "proposed model" from our lawyer, but will likely be necessary)
			* Treasurer - Evita Hollis
			* Secretary - Bryan Hilderbrand

			The MWStake board consists of:
			* Bryan Hilderbrand
			* Cindy Cicalese
			* Evita Hollis
			* James Montalvo
			* Lex Sulzer
			* Mark Hershberger
			* Markus Glaser
			* Sabine Melnicki


			==Membership/election/term==
			'''Membership:'''
			* How do we get/advertise membership?
			* What are the "dues"
			* We should propose a membership model, get our lawyer's input, and then vote
			** <span style="color:red;">Need members input</span>

			'''Board and officer positions:'''
			* We should tend towards quicker board/officer terms (≈ 1year)
			* Staggered elections to provide continuity is desired (not all officers are reelected at the same time)


			==Non-profit type==
			Not discussed, but needs review
			* 501(c)(6) vs. 501(c)(3) - See [[MWStake incorporation#Non-profit type\|here]] for more information
			** <span style="color:red;">Need members input</span>


			==Funding==
			Funding sources:
			* Membership dues
			* Grants from business
			** James discussed the possibility that NASA might be willing to help pay for a tech stack review
			** Maybe find a compelling argument that works for NASA and use it as a template for other businesses/organizations
			* Grants from WMF (Ideally we move away from this model)
			** <span style="color:red;">Need members input</span>


			==Bylaws==
			* Our lawyers are drafting a set of standard non-profit bylaws
			* We should add vice president as a officer role with Markus


			==Insurance==
			Depending on the direction MWStake takes, insurance needs should be looked into further.


			==Goals for the future==
			[[File:MW Extensions EMF Certification.png\|thumb\|MWStake induced extension certification (MWS Certification)]]

			* '''Cindy''' - SMW Audit
			** Set up a program for security audits for 3rd party extensions
			** Might need to get a lawyers input for liability
			** What does funding look like for this effort?
			** Could use a bug bounty model
			** How to perform a security review? Hire a contractor?
			** Brian Wolff works half-time for the WMF and may consider contract work in his non-WMF time
			** Robert Vogel may have experience and bandwidth to tackle this
			** James notes that SMW is a moving target and the security audit shouldn't be considered a one-time event
			** The ''This extension is maintained by a member of the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Stakeholders%27_Group MediaWiki Stakeholders' Group]'' is a great example of the "badge of approval" MWStake can give as a "curated app" in addition to being good marketing/branding for MWStake (from extensions like [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAPAuthentication2 LDAPAuthentication2])
			** Certification similar to [[Talk:MWStake incorporation/Board meeting\|MWStake induced extension certification (MWS Certification)]] as shown on right
			* '''Lex''' - Consider endorsement/support for/of conference "SearchAndWiki 2019" on selected knowledge transfer aspects
			* '''Bryan (and likely Evita)''' - Improved documentation for "curated list" of 3rd party enterprise extensions
			* Brainstorm on others
			** <span style="color:red;">Need members input</span>


			==Extraneous==
			* Shorthand for name: #mwstake, MWStake, MWSG, etc.
			** <span style="color:red;">Need members input</span>
			* Meeting schedule: Quarterly, Monthly, etc.
			** <span style="color:red;">Need members input</span>
			* Meeting time: This time (6am PST, 9am EST, 3pm CET), rotate, etc.
			** <span style="color:red;">Need members input</span>
			* Correct email for members (personal vs. work)?
			** <span style="color:red;">Need members input</span>
			* Branding
			** We should brand the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/EMWCon_Spring_2018 Houston EMWCon] with MWStake as the organizer
			** We should get a Twitter account for branding
