Agenda

(In progress) Write a workgroup charter
(Mostly done, any suggestion for additional guidelines?) Write guidelines, including that each event we grant money to needs to have a Code of Conduct, clarifying the dollar amounts for different requests, clarifying what types of requests are to be handled by the grants committee and what types of requests are to be handled exclusively by the board, including that any grant request outside of the guidelines needs to be referred to the board, etc.
Figure out a budget the grants committee can work with
Determine a notification system: Does the grants workgroup notify the grant applicants about their decision or does Ewa continue to do so? Who publishes the decisions about issued grants and where are they published? (Suggestion: The PSF board publishes them after reviewing the monthly workgroup report.). Does the workgroup report to Mary Ann directly?
Recruit workgroup members. We would like to ask the board of directors for suggestions for possible committee members. We thought it would also be a good idea to take a look at the nominations for the board election and get some of the people involved who didn’t make it on the board this time. In addition to that we would like to make an announcement on the PSF-members mailing list and the PSF blog. Naomi and Anna volunteer to function as co-chairs. A chair needs to be determined either by the board of directors, or by voting among the workgroup members.
