Minutes of the meeting of the PICISOC Board of Trustees Held on a ZOOM call on the 9th May @9pm (Cook Islands) Present: Emani (Chair), Anju, Andrew (VCs), Cherie (Treasurer) and Maureen (Sec) The Minutes of the previous meeting of 11 April were accepted. Matters arising: (this became our agenda) 1. Action item1 – Anju and Andrew will review and update the current Hosting Requirements for PacINET and then send the new Version 4 to the other members of the Board for amendment/approval. It was noted to include that PacINET Is a combination of Technical Training and Pacific IGF. Technical training traditionally provided by APNIC. The hosting requirements can become the reference resource for an Expression of Interest by a Pacific country to host a PacINET event. Members will be notified of this document currently being reviewed. 2. Action item2 – Andrew will contact NICTA and inform them of the PacINET Hosting Guidelines on which they can base their Expression of Interest to hold a PacINET In PNG – possibly at the second half of 2020 or in the beginning of 2021. Other business 3. PacINET or PacIGF co-locating with APTLD in Fiji – this possibility is being investigated by Keith Davidson and Save Vocea. We are still awaiting confirmation on this. 4. UN eGov Meeting in Incheon, Korea – Anju and Andrew are attending this meeting of eGov experts in Korea. Suggested resources that they should take: a. Boase Report (2009) on the eGov projects in the Cook Is, Niue and Samoa. b. Rowen Cullen and Graham Hassall (2016) eGovt in the Pacific Island States: ICT Policy and implementation in small island developing states c. Government of Vanuatu National ICT Policy 5. Two Board members – to be appointed to the Board until the end of the term. Requests for Expressions of interest to be sent out in the next member notice. 6. Cybersecurity Dialogue – work in progress with regards to original discussions but Cherie will coordinate some activity that is already underway within the Pacific – also including Anju 7. PICISOC Board Westpac Bank account- Westpac requires a new registration certificate updated with the new Board names. These are recorded on the first minutes of the meeting of the new Board and the election of Board officers. Apparently, the bank requires the personal signing of a former official – Maureen Hilyard – in Fiji in order to withdraw the funds. No news from the head office in Australia who were contacted a month ago. a. Action item3 – Maureen to contact Subhashish about support from ISOC to undertake this activity. .
