This was extracted (@ 2025-06-25 23:10) from a list of minutes which have been approved by the Board.

Please Note The Board typically approves the minutes of the previous meeting at the beginning of every Board meeting; therefore, the list below does not normally contain details from the minutes of the most recent Board meeting. ASF Members may have access to a private draft of these still-unapproved minutes.

WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
This is due to changes in the layout of the source minutes over the years. Fixes are being worked on.

 Kevin: Sponsorship of Apache is a bargain. We have not changed
 sponsorship fees in 15 years. Time to increase them.

 Brett: We should try to improve the sponsorship renewal process.

 Bertrand: One thing to look at is to take Travel Assistance out
 of the budget and have it be strictly sponsored.

 Kevin: Fundraising is looking at having a "sponsorship drive".

 Sally: The "Apache Ambassador" program has started. This program
 gives sponsors an "executive" contact within Apache. It looks like
 this program is adequately staffed at the moment. The ambassadors
 should make regular contact with our sponsors.

 Possible Action Items:

 Increase sponsorship fees after giving current sponsors the
 opportunity to renew at current levels

 Take TAC out of budget and make it a sponsored project

 Improve sponsor renewal process
