Eighty sixth meeting of the IAOA Executive Council (EC)
Virtual Meeting of 05 Sep 2013 (07)
Attendees:
Michael Gruninger (Chair)
Oliver Kutz
Frank Loebe
Fabian Neuhaus
Leo Obrst
Laure Vieu (08)
The 2013 election of the Executive Council (EC) started on September 01,
2013, with the phase of nominations of candidates. On the basis of their
stated readiness and agreement and seconded by Laure Vieu, Michael Gruninger
has nominated Oliver Kutz, Frank Loebe, Fabian Neuhaus, and Leo Obrst. They
aim at continuing their work, but had been elected for only one year in the
2012 EC election, in connection with the introduction of annual EC
elections. Personal thoughts of EC members on further potential nominees
were exchanged, while the EC as a body will not approach members with
nomination proposals. Furthermore on the work within the EC itself, the
Secretary mentions a shortage of his time in the next months. This will lead
to focusing on and streamlining core tasks, while other EC members have
offered additional support on following ideas beyond regular business. (09)
The EC decided to augment the institutional membership fee scheme by the new
option discussed in the previous meeting, viz a (higher) basic institutional
fee that (a) includes 10 individual members without additional fees and (b)
allows for reduced membership rates for further members of the institution.
This will be implemented until December 2013, for the next renewal period. (010)
Regarding a potential re-location of IAOA, a restricted update on Germany
was given. Since such investigations require further time, the EC agreed to
pursue this topic by developing detailed proposals until December 31, 2013,
such that decisions can be made by the EC in office from January 01, 2014,
on. (011)
The issue of initiating an ontology textbook was briefly taken up, but needs
to be continued in near later meetings. (012)
Regular business further covered minor updates and technical aspects on the
2014 events, i.e., FOIS, the Summer School, and the FOMI workshop, as well
as the Ontology Summit Hackathon Award. Moreover, the EC received an
intermediate update regarding funding of the Workshop on Modular Ontologies
(WoMO 2013). (013)
(End of Report) (014)
