CPC Meeting Notes & Recap

• Michael Dawson shared an FYI that the board had approved changes to the bylaws. The changes do not affect projects, but to summarize the changes clarified board representation and reinforced the Silver membership class. In the future, the CPC Board Director will summarize these changes for us on an FYI issue.
  
• The first issue we took up was PR #587, Board seat definitions and process. Joe Sepi contextualized the work, explaining that it sought to clarify terminology and provide more guidance for would-be community board director expectations. Joe requested further input and an engaging discussion ensued for almost the entirety of the meeting. One of the key questions that arose was the role of voting and regular members in the vote for community Board representatives. Joe has a number of language updates to this PR as a result of the conversation.
  
• #583 Updating the CLA to the Apache-style ICLA and CCLA, did not have a major update but Jory was given the action item to email all OpenJSF Maintainers for input on this issue.
  
• Issues #574/#575, which capture the proposal for the individual membership program, have two big open questions. First was whether the newsletter (this newsletter) should become a program benefit. Bandwidth of foundation staff was a key concern. The second was what more could be offered to supporters to help them create a 'happy path to contributions. Additionally, there was some sentiment around how income from the program benefits supporters. The suggestion is to see how it goes with the program before we decide. This proposal is set to advance.
  
• On #326, (#566 , corresponding PR) Responsible security disclosures, Jory sent out an email to the maintainer community asking for feedback. Assuming no objections, we will merge this and advance the proposal by the end of the week.
  
• We ran out of time to discuss other items on our agenda, and closed ~10 minutes early to go into a brief private session.
