General IdCommons Action Items

This list was started based on a conversation between Eugene, Kaliya and MaryR on 3/18 and is a place holder to track open/proposed tasks and activities

Operations

 * Identify and investigate (evaluate quality and cost) of services that specialize in outsourced operations for non-profits. (Accounting, IT, etc.)
 * Follow-up with Fen to see if he has fully connected with Stas about providing sys admin support courtesy of Parity
 * Investigate using Mailman mailing lists and getting it openid enabled (also i-card enabled) (Eugene to follow-up with Phil)
 * Continue wiki moving work

Holding Space and Brand

 * Consider moving identity-gang mailing list to IdCommons branded mailing list once it is available. (Need to consider trade off brand vs. potential disruption on list.)
 * Button on Phil's site????
 * Need to have online resources that projects can leverage so that we can make this a selling point for a group to come to IdCommons
 * Assign mentor to new working groups
 * Create new working group kit (This will reduce burden of getting new groups on-board and encourage new groups to come on-board
 * Website
 * Need to fix the working group list on the wiki and correct statuses as errors were introduced during a previous round of edits.  (Eugene knows correct content.)
 * Institute a procedure under which money can be given to IdCommons for use by a specific group. (So that their doesn't have to be a stewards vote to disburse the $$)
 * Have quarterly reports be done directly on wiki. (IdCommons creates the area for the new report on the wiki and nudges people. IdCommons reserves the right to have some editorial input.)

Fundraising

 * IIW 2008A sponsor solicitations have already been sent out.
 * Review current budget and draft proposed "ideal" budget based on incremental funding (Needed for discussions with potential incremental sponsors.)
