    v1 v1  
     1= MacPorts PortMgr
     2
     3There's a talk from 2016, see [wiki:Meetings/MacPortsMeeting2016/Programme#MacPortsPortMgr]. Compared to two years ago, `portmgr@` no longer deals with managing the infrastructure, since we now have the infrastructure team to do that and rely on GitHub.
     4
     5== Should there be a voting process to confirm `portmgr@` and/or get new members elected?
     6* Is this really necessary? Since there is very little conflict within MacPorts anyway, elections might be more trouble then it's worth.
     7* Getting voting right is complicated.
     8
     9== `portmgr@` response times
     10* `portmgr@` is sometimes slow to respond to inquiries
     11* Should there be a "portmgr@ timeout" (one or two weeks) for somebody to object and a default to accept a proposal if the timeout occurs?
     12  * This was a problem when discussing funding requests for travel to the meeting.
     13
     14== Legal organizations & fund handling
     15* Handling money is an issue for us, since we cannot easily accept donations
     16* There are options, such as founding an association (which may require a certain number of people in a certain jurisdiction) or joining an existing organization such as Software Freedom Conservancy
