Action: make sure Colin’s GPG key setup is correct on the PR, after we can merge and Rod can add Colin’s credentials to the build server.

* Mikeal: budget auditing requires that spending be approved by the board - need to approve the budget and the process for expenditure of those funds. Mikeal has a proposal for the process with basic limits and a process for having the TSC approve expenditure beyond that.

**Process as outlined**

* TSC approves target budget (max amount to spend on travel) and caps on each type of spend (with the possibility that the TSC can approve a specific spend over if need be).

* Contributors in need of the fund apply (this will happen in the GitHub thread) but should explicitly state if they need flight, accommodation or both.

* If the number of contributors in need of the fund exceeds the target budget the TSC will prioritize the list of contributors applying for the fund.

Voting on approving the process stated above:

* Rod: +1

* James: +1

* Fedor: +1

* Michael: +1

* Steven: +1

* Jeremiah: +1

* Brian: +1

* Ben: +1

* Trevor: +1

* Chris: +1

Specific proposal for August

* 15K max budget (we had previously talked about 10K but I don't think that is enough)

* Approve a $900 max spend per person on accommodations.

* Approve a $500 max spend on domestic travel

* Approve a $1500 max spend on international travel (if someone has to go over it just requires additional TSC approval)

* Rod: +1

* James: +1

* Fedor: +1

* Rod outlined the state of play:

- LTS WG moved from “proposal” to “plan” but are still depending on the stable release branch having a clear process

- LTS WG discussed a proposal by Trevor for how to handle next/canary/alpha & master & release branches & LTS branches: https://gist.github.com/trevnorris/7620a64b086e95271197

* Mikeal: it’s more helpful if we think about V8 upgrades as a pull-request to master rather than a separate “next” that has to be separately managed.

Much bikeshedding was had in an attempt to move forward.

Group agreed in general with Trevor’s proposal, will organise further discussions amongst the group of interested parties at another time.
