[OpenInfra Foundation] March 7, 2023 Board Meeting
The Open Infrastructure Foundation Board of Directors met earlier this week. The agenda[1] was posted ahead of time.

Julia Kreger opened the meeting by introducing Huawei’s new Platinum Director Zhou Junyi to the Board and thanking Xudong Ren for his service. After, the Board approved the meeting minutes from the January 31, 2023 meeting.

Next, Julia provided information about the in-person Board meeting that is scheduled to take place in Vancouver, alongside the OpenInfra Summit. That meeting will take place on June 12, 2023, hosted by Microsoft. Julia said there is limited space in that location, so you should RSVP to allison@openinfra.dev if you are interested in attending.

I proposed two promotions that require Board approval: Allison Price as VP of Marketing and Community, and Wes Wilson as VP of Operations. After a brief discussion, the Board approved both promotions. Congratulations to Allison and Wes on this recognition of your contributions to the Foundation!

Next, the staff presented an update[2] on a number of topics. Allison provided updates around the OpenInfra Summit + PTG in Vancouver, as well as a summary of new OpenInfra Foundation members. Wes proceeded to discuss a proposal to modify the Trademark Policy, requesting follow up questions be sent to wes@openinfra.dev. Staff will be seeking Board approval for these changes during the next Board meeting on April 7, 2023. Wes then provided a sample of some Project Funds in the pipeline that are further along in the process. Wes asked that any Board members or organizations interested in learning more to contact him at wes@openinfra.dev. Allison wrapped up the staff update with a summary of the upcoming industry events that Foundation staff will be attending.

Finally, Amy Marrich provided a brief update on the Diversity & Inclusion Working Group.

Thanks to everyone for participating!
