There are still some discussions going on. Overall status can be tracked at Elections/2010-03. Request for decisions: The current "election process" bylaw requires a decision how to vote (mail, dedicated tooling)? Request 1: Do we want to use LimeSurvey like in the last year's voting? --> Decision 1: Agreed. Request 2: Do we want to generally change the voting process to use dedicated tooling (currently: LimeSurvey)? --> Decision 2: Agreed. Decision 2 will have impact on the current CC bylaw: "4. [...] Voting may be done via mail (on public list or private mail) or using a dedicated tooling. The Council needs to decide about the way of voting before the election process starts." Request for decision: Proposal by Stefan/Louis/Christoph to change schedule a bit (due to the easter). 2010-04-01 start of voting period by direct invitations to constituency 2010-04-08 reminders to be sent to constituency 2010-04-15 close of voting One week for review by observers Request: Do all agree to the schedule?--> Decision: Agreed. Next steps: Voting will be started according to the proposed schedule. Christoph will announce it on the mailing lists. Stefan will set up LimeSurvey for voting by the constituencies. A request (with regard to the election process) that was sent to Louis has been mentioned. He is asked to inform the CC if required. Christoph will update the Election Process bylaw once the current election is over. The change will describe the exclusive use of dedicated tooling for the voting, e.g. LimeSurvey. The version of the bylaw will be changed from 1.0 to 1.1.
2010-03-04#2	Refresh Incubator and NLC Project processes	Accepted	Louis	2010-03-18	No new proposal available. Louis will work on that. Next steps: Will be discussed in next meeting.

It has been clarified to provide this "open slot" on a regular basis (e.g. monthly, or each CC meeting). Proposal: Martin will provide a new proposal in the next few days.
2010-03-04#4	Work with Clayton on estimates for Developing developers documentation	Accepted	Jürgen	2010-04-01	New proposal has been sent to the list by Jürgen (here). The basic idea is to provide bounties instead of contracting one writer. For any proposal, the development budget may require an upgrade. Matthias, Stefan and Martin will provide a proposal (Cor will join, see 2010-03-04#5). Juergen talked with Clayton and they will come up with some drafts for the first bounties and in relation to the drafts with a set of basic rules/guideline that are necessary to run such a bounty program (see mail on council-discuss). Next steps: Juergen will summarize some information on a wiki page. Budget discussion will be continued in next CC meeting. It is assumed that there will be more information on how much will be provided for each work package.
2010-03-04#5	OpenOffice.org Internship (was: Talk to Google about 2010 SoC)	Accepted	Cor, John	2010-03-18	We have been informed that Google refuses projects from OpenOffice.org. It had been decided before to go for the own "OpenOffice.org Internship" in that situation. A draft for the internship program is worked out (here). All CC members are asked to comment this proposal on the CC mailing list before Tuesday March 23. Budget may be possible issue, since required for here and for documentation (AI 2010-03-04#4).
