Points permanents

  2. Mise à jour de budget : pas de budget officiel à ce jour. WMCA a un peu plus de 3 000$ CAD dans le compte bancaire. Nous avons dépassé un peu moins de 3 000 CAD pour rembourser les membres. Le compte bancaire a 4$ CAD frais mensuels.

Ancienne activité

  1. Page PayPal de don/adhésion en français. Trésorier n'a pas encore d'accès PayPal. Il n'y a donc pas de mise à jour sur la correction de la page. (Action par : trésorier).
  2. Assurances corporatives pour le bureau à Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ). Benoit Rochon a écrit un courriel à Hélène Cadieux de BAnQ et elle enverra les informations légales concernant l'accord. WMCA demandera à BAnQ de faire un don d'assurance. Il y a la possibilité d'obtenir l'accord signé et commencer à utiliser l'adresse postale, mais attendre avant d'occuper le bureau, ne nécessitant pas encore d'assurance. (Action par: Benoit Rochon).
  3. Logiciel de gestion d'adhésion. James Heilman updates the Board: the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) and Wikimedia Switzerland (WMCH) use CiviCRM, Manuel from WMCH does the support for free and just charge for web server. Other chapters say that CiviCRM is too complex. WMCA only has 34 members and does not have a long list of donors, so it may be too early to get something like this software, and we could use Google Sheets instead. Argument in favour of CiviCRM is the importance of looking professional and having the system in place before Wikimania and the associated membership drive. Manuel from WMCH offers to set up and support it for free, WMCA would just need to have server space. Patrick Paul can give a remote access to his server to Manuel. (Action by: Secretary and Patrick Paul).
  4. Update Industry Canada. Industry Canada is updated for everyone except for Ha-Loan Phan because the Secretary was missing her address. (Action by: Secretary).
  5. Transfer of the bank account. There is a meeting with the bank on October 12th, 2016. (Action by: Benoit Rochon, David Fourney, Ha-Loan Phan and Jean-Philippe Béland).
  6. Transfer of the PayPal account. Treasurer proposes to create a generic address @wikimedia.ca for the Treasurer. Currently the PayPal account is associated with donate@wikimedia.ca. Patrick Paul got the credentials from Alan Walker. He needs a few more days to go through the accounts and modify the ownership information as well as look into sharing access to the account. (Action by: Treasurer).
  7. Roles and Responsibilities of the officers/directors. Board members will go through the document during the next two weeks and submit comments to Jean-Philippe Béland. The new policy is to be accepted at the next Board Meeting. (Action by: Jean-Philippe Béland).
  8. Strategic Plan. The Board identifies two set of priorities, for the next year and for the next five year. Everyone will look through the document before the next Board Meeting. (Action by: Jean-Philippe Béland).
  9. Mailing lists. No change for now. (Action by: Patrick Paul).
