These are the minutes for the October 14th, 2019 SPI Board Meeting, held at 20:00 UTC in #spi on irc.spi-inc.org. LOG.
President's Report
I have delegated contractor management to Stephen Frost. He had a conference call with our IT contractor recently to get up to speed on the IT infrastructure upgrade/migration project. I've worked with tbm and OpenSAF on their trademark and asset transfer paperwork. I've submitted our Director's and Officer's insurance renewal paperwork to our insurance broker. I resent the paperwork this morning since I hadn't heard back from the broker in a few days.
Treasurer's report
Martin-Zobel Helas is on vacation but the treasury team is continuing to work through the treasury queue in RT. Martin Michlmayr has been pinging Michael Schultheiss on urgent requests but for most requests, they are being processed FIFO.
Secretary's report
It hasn't been mentioned officially but we are confirmed for 22nd and 23rd at HRT for the face-to-face meeting. As we're starting to get closer to the date I will ramp up getting things organised. Am working on getting the Apple Developer agreement signed but having trouble connecting people together to get that going. There are two conflict of interest forms outstanding.

Items up for discussion
Notification of non-material error in election of director Tim Potter
Martin Michlmayr discovered an error in the recording of the election date for Tim Potter which has been propagated throughout the minutes. Potter's election should occur in July 2020, not July 2019. Since there were no other candidates we can declare this election void and luckily no harm done.
Minutes have been updated with the correct election date. Thanks to Martin for finding this!
Missing conflict of interest notifications (zobel, schultmc, tpot)
Tim Potter was chasing up the remaining conflict of interest notifications from parties who had not completed them.
Any other business
Miscellaneous other minor topics.
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned until Monday November 11th, 2019 at 20:00 UTC in #spi on irc.spi-inc.org.
