Approved

[2011-07-15] Announcement of Management Team by CWG >> Pending

[2011-07-15] Setting up management-mailgroup by secretary >> Done

- Every [chair of working group] is updating the description of his/her working group before next meeting

- Discussion about tasks and responsibilities of Management Team.

Feedback between working groups and coordinate work between working groups
Identifying work that falls between the gaps and assigning this to existing working group or form a new working group
Day-to-day financial issues

- Engineering WG still needs to be formed.

Role of Engineering WG would first be to stimulate engineering work on OSM tools (editors, website, API, etc)
Discussed whether accepting/rejecting of code patches was within the engineering working group or the operations working group. Currently not a formal role of a foundation group at all. No immediate need to change, but does this conflict with the aim to attract more developers? (discussion inconclusive)
Need to organize a kick-off meeting (and a call for participation).
[Steve] is going to set a first meeting. [CWG] will help him with sending out a call for participation.
