Chairman of the Board is in the call. One of the Chairman or Deputy is required to be present or represented for having a quorate call.
The Board of Directors at time of the call consists of 7 seat holders without deputies. In order to be quorate, the call needs to have 1/2 of the Board of Directors members, which gives 4. A total of 7 Board of Directors members or their representatives are attending the call.
The board waives all formal statutory requirements, or requirements in the foundations articles, or other requirements regarding form and invitation, time limits, and for the topics discussed in this meeting.
The call is quorate.
From now on, a quorum can be reached with a simple majority of 4 votes.
Some items were discussed in private, as the board saw a need for confidentiality during discussions. The results are now being made public in accordance with our statutes. Agenda items 1-2 have been discussed in public before.
Eliane asked to have an Google Hangout for next conf calls, in addition to the regular phone lines. Will be tried on a best-effort basis next time, connected to the regular phone conference line. Board members are asked to fall back to the phone line in case of issues.
