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.

 Apache became an affiliate of OSI in 2011 with the expectation that
 the role of affiliate would be more clearly defined. Since then,
 there has been very little progress on defining the roles.
 At minimum, affiliates need to be involved, and ideally approve,
 public policy positions of OSI.

 There can be advantages to Apache from an affiliation with OSI.
 For example, OSI can make statements regarding public policy that
 Apache would endorse, but as a 501(c)(3) charity, cannot.

 Once the formal affiliate role is defined, Apache should appoint a
 VP, OSI to manage the relationship.

 In order to move the affiliate process along, we should make a
 request to OSI to formalize the affiliate program by the face-to-face
 meeting of OSI in November.
