2.3) Collect information about role of ED

Martin absent, nobody else has taken it on.

3) Items for discussion

3.1) Fundraising/finances

Reply from Peter that he's been busy but will look into things (i.e.
the state of our list of sponsors) over the coming month.

3.2) Search for new ED

On hold pending definition of role and responsibilities.

Brief discussion about the responsibilities of the ED. Guus volunteers
to ask Peter. Matthew highlights that Peter previously indicated he
did very little in his role as the ED (compared to other roles, e.g.
Treasurer).

Matthew questions the importance of geographic location in the search
for ED, and whether we need someone who is based in the organisation's
country of incorporation. Guus says this has never been raised as an
issue before (i.e. with any other role). There is no evidence it's a
problem.

4) AOB

None.

Skipping 1 week due to Matthew and Ralph unable to attend. Next
meeting will be Thursday 17th May.
