Timeline:

• announce on 6-10 (day after board meeting)
• nominations end 17-10
• all nominees will be emailed on 17th so they have an equal amount of time to make the decision
• existing board members are considered nominated by default and will be emailed at the same time as the new nominees to confirm that they are standing
• 4 days decision making by nominees ends 21-10
• 15 days open ends 5-11

Nominations:

• historically

1. people say they want to stand and someone has to second them
2. people are nominated and they have to confirm that they're willing to stand

This year we will be going with the second option but with a fixed length of time for nominees to make a decision, if they haven't responded by the cutoff date they will be considered to not want to stand.

Insurance - we need some.

• BC to look at why hello@hacman.org.uk isn't going to the whole of the board.
• need canonical list of members asap.
