Just a reminder about tomorrow's Board Meeting - Richard has submitted the following:

1. Minutes from the previous meeting.

The minutes of the 1 Aug meeting have been published online <http://fhiso.org/minutes/2017-08-01/> but we still need for accept them formally.

2. Legal status.

Drew wasn't present for the August meeting and I haven't seen an update on our legal status. Assuming Irma allows Drew to be present, can we have an update? We paid them US$1000 back in February, so I would
hope we have something to show for it. Are they waiting for any
information from us? Have we sent them the list of officers' addresses
that Andy drew up?

3. Finance.

Any out of the ordinary expenditure to report since 1 August? Any
progress drawing up the summary of expenditure and income from the bank
statements for publication?

4. Technical work.

We released today (Monday) second drafts of two standards on Citation Elements which include significant changes from the first drafts, largely based on feedback received in June and July. We're getting close to being able to release our ELF drafts, though there's still some work needed to check they actually do everything we want of them. We're hoping to schedule a conference call with Ryan Heaton (and maybe Jimmy Zimmerman too) at FamilySearch to discuss various logistic and technical issues with the GEDCOM X bindings. The TSC should come up with a plan on how we prioritise these items of work.

5. Website.

(a) We're now using Mythic Beasts' nameservers rather than Simply Hosting's, which have much better IPv6 support. However the current setup means we still don't get IPv6 on main website, nor do we get DNSSEC. This is not satisfactory in the long term, though there is no urgency to fixing it.

(b) Roger has suggested we should keep the fhiso.net domain too. Back in June we decided we would let it expire when it comes for renewal in January and only keep fhiso.org (our primary domain) and fhiso.com. The cost of keeping the .net is likely to be about US$20 p.a.

(c) Since the last meeting, I've got most of our governance documents updating automatically, both as PDF and HTML, from the markdown in github. The includes our articles of incorporation, bylaws, code of conduct, and appeals policy.

6. Any other business.

(a) Membership. Has Andy been able to check that memberships have been extended to 31 December 2018?

6. Next meeting.

Six weeks from 12 Sept is 24 Oct.
