---

Present: Tom Arnold (TA), Andrew Nelson (AN), Max Skoda (MS), Andrew McCluskey, Jochen Stahn (JS), Bridget Murphy (BMM)


Apologies: Brian Maranville (BBM), Stefan Kowarik (SK), 


# Agenda


## 1. Review previous minutes and assign a note taker


No outstanding actions


## 2. AGM at SXNS.

Jochen would like to stand down as chairman at this AGM, and we have to ratify SK joining as chairman.

ACTION: TA to ask in an email to ORSO mailing list who is prepared to stand.

5 registrations who want to attend remotely so far . Main auditorium (plenary room) has AV setup, but other rooms don't have AV setups. We can probably do Zoom for those outer rooms via ?personal laptops?, but it's not going to be optimal :-(.

ACTION: run online survey how to get people involved with ORSO. How do we make it easier? Are there enough opportunities for engagement? MS to draft

DAPHNE can provide some funding for food + one invited speaker.

It would be good to have some discussion on mutual problem solving at some point during the day.




### Sponsorship
DAPHNE is going to provide some funding for food + an invited speaker.




## AOB

Happy to move the meeting a couple of hours later to make the time more suitable for East Coast of US.


Date of the next meeting: start of June
