Activités en 2018

[modifier]

See Activities.

Comptes annuels 2018

[modifier]

Remarks:

  • The EXPS code needs to be relabeled as "Onkostennota's" instead of "Diverse uitgaven"
  • Geert explains that all transactions are done via the bank account; either via invoice payments, or expense claim payments. There are no bank cards, nor credit cards, nor cash payments to be sure to not have unfunded transactions.
  • Ciell proposes for next year to create a "Rekeningencommissie" (Accounts Committee). Ciell and Spider are candidate. Spider and Ciell are appointed by the GA to audit the 2019 bank transactions and general ledger.
  • The aggregate expenses are better based on projects. Geert shows that this is done in the Foundation report. There can be some difference between the Annual Accounts, and the Foundation annual report; the annual account is calendar based from 1 January till 31 December, with a possibility for provisions, while the Foundation report is based on the sAPG and the project grants, which can be shifted from the calendar year.

Voting to discharge the board: 12 agree to discharge (none against, no abstention). The Annual Accounts are accepted and the board is hereby discharged.

Budget 2019

[modifier]

We received from WMF a grant of 16.500 € for 2019, the same amount as in 2018. Due to the 2030 Strategy process (2019 Summit report) the Foundation has frozen the sAPG Affiliates budgets.

Internal Board procedures

They have legal and moral obligations and responsibilities towards the Belgian Government, the Wikimedia Foundation, our members, and to the general public.

Activités pour 2019

[modifier]

Pour 2019, nous voulons continuer à croître en tant que Wikimédia Belgique. Nous avons reçu suffisamment de financement pour organiser de nouvelles activités, et nous pouvons utiliser le support financier et logistique de Wikimédia Belgique pour cela. Nous t'encourageons fortement à te présenter à notre Assemblée Générale, que tu aies une idée à organiser ou pas!

Various topics

[modifier]
Association
  • Social networks - new French Twitter account, perspectives, others channels

A communications plan is being created.

Legal
Foundation

At the General assembly it was suggested by one of the participants, as a reaction to the verbal report of Romaine, that, in order to bring clarity and objectivity in the general working of the T&S and of the Grants team, legally and technically, a WMF internal audit could be requested about:

  • the way T&S is handling complaints and applies decisions about complaint cases, whether the cases are handled in an objective and neutral way, and to verify whether the rights of defendants are sufficiently guaranteed.
  • how the Grants team handles, evaluates, accepts, or refuses grant requests, and if the Grants team sufficiently applies inter-cultural sensitivity.

The outcome of the internal audit could be a remediation plan, an adapted Safe space policy, and subsequent Trust & Safety procedures.

See m:Request for WMF Internal audits and appeal procedures for more details.

New Board members

Mike proposes that a document "Welcome new Board member" is written.

The meeting was closed at 17:25.
