1.1   Consent Agenda Resolutions

• Vote on the minutes of the previous meeting:

  RESOLVED, that the Python Software Foundation approve the minutes at https://mail.python.org/mailman/private/psf-important/2018-October/001892.html as representing a true and accurate record of the October 30, 2018 meeting

• Vote on fiscal sponsorship items: PyTexas created a 501(c)(c) a few years ago and did not realize that the PSF had a balance of PyTexas funds on hand. Dustin Ingram requested that the funds be transferred, which the PSF did on 12/04/18. Therefore, the PSF staff recommends the following resolution:

  RESOLVED, the Python Software Foundation approved fiscal sponsorship of PyTexas by a June 20, 2012 resolution of the Board. Subsequently, PyTexas became the PyTexas Foundation, a 501(c)(3) entity, which is engages in substantially similar activities of the Python Software Foundation’s fiscal sponsorship of PyTexas. Pursuant to a discussion between Dustin Ingram of PyTexas Foundation and Phyllis Dobbs, Controller of Python Software Foundation, Python Software Foundation resolves to end its fiscal sponsorship of PyTexas effective November 29, 2018.

• Two groups, DesertPy and PyCarolinas have not responded by the November 30, 2018 due date, so the PSF staff recommends the following resolutions:

  RESOLVED, the Python Software Foundation terminates its fiscal sponsorship of DesertPy due to lack of fiscal sponsorship agreement effective November 30, 2018.

  RESOLVED, the Python Software Foundation terminates its fiscal sponsorship of PyCarolinas due to lack of fiscal sponsorship agreement effective November 30, 2018.
