** Open Collective Newsletter
*** JE found [https://docs.opencollective.com/help/internal/newsletter internal documentation about the newsletter] but this seems to be for the administrators; JE to get in touch with Pia about getting featured per her suggestion
** Open Collective merchandise options
*** JE reported he couldn't find the merchandising page we discussed before. But it should be possible to use any company for T-shirts, etc.
*** JE reported that direct PayPal payments to our Open Collective are complicated/expensive as the system is in beta; it would be better to find a company that would pay directly into our European Open Collective account. JE to try to find one that does SEPA payments.

*** JE: Report on past procedure/policy pending
* Infrastructure
** RL reported that our PGPMoose setup on Panix has warned us that our own "List of Big Eight Newsgroups" post on [[news.announce.newgroups]] is a "possible forgery" due to an incorrectly formed X-Auth header, and that this appears to be a recurrence of the problem we discussed from 21–27 September 2020. RL wrote to Russ Allbery but has received no response yet; will write to Todd now.
** TM reported on Paul Schleck's suggestions on {{news|news.groups}} about the Board's activity.
** Paul also wrote by e-mail to alert us to a problem with news propagation on Panix from 7 to 12 May. This explains the delay in the Board's recent announcement to [[news.announce.newgroups]].
** Paul also alerted to us to an offer by Panix of resources for STUMP development.
** TM to reply to Paul and to write to Panix asking for details.
** RL wrote to the uk.* folks regarding the STUMP fork and is awaiting a response
* Misc
** JE: no response from Ronda Hauben
