The board agreed that the meeting had been convened properly and that there was a quorum.

Report from the Treasurer

Niall reported that the foundation still has more then 20kEUR in the bank and thus can comfortably make this year’s award. He added that he had requested the full financial report on 2022 from the RIPE NCC but not yet received it because they were very busy. The board agreed that this was not extremely urgent but should be completed as soon as the RIPE NCC can do so.

Niall further reported that the RIPE NCC financial department recommends that we take over managing the foundation bank account that has been established and managed by the RIPE NCC so far. This would include generating simple financial reports.

After a short discussion the board decided to proceed as suggested and asked Niall to have this implemented such that all board two out of the four board members can authorise transactions. [RBF11-1]

The board resolved to request another donation from the RIPE NCC. [RBF11-2]

Daniel said he would inform the RIPE NCC.

Award Committee Progress

Falk reported that the award committee has a number of credible nominations to choose from and that he expects the committee to decide in time for the next award.
