Second membership drive e-mail sent yesterday, mainly to Member Orgs in N. and S. America. Bank transfers are unpopular among Members, so have to rely on Kagi for now (at least 1 month to receive payments).

A disappointing level of activity on the online forum. It would be useful to have the list of project priorities as decided in Prague in February, but the final forum discussion could be broadened to discuss wider priorities for next year e.g. lobbying, public outreach, membership development.
ACTION: send online forum reminders and all to stimulate debate in the Strategic Plan thread.

A specific consensus-based decision-making process to be used at the AGM must be chosen by the Steering Committee at least 60 days prior to the meeting.
or change it to:
A majority rules decision-making process to be used at the AGM must be chosen by the Steering Committee at least 60 days prior to the meeting. The goal is to reach as much agreement as possible, therefore minorities need time to be heard before a decision is made.
Result: 3x change, 2x retain, 2x cannot decide.
