Board of Trustees
===

### Introduction
The Board of Trustees for the PA/vPA Operations Treasury is responsible for reporting to Catalyst, managing the keys to the side-treasury, and monitoring the [Governing Bodies](/wQm0zkflSNmmrRCwolZQsA) chartered under the side-treasury governance. They are also required to convene regularly to discuss any suggested revisions by the community to controlled documents or protocols of the side-treasury.

### Current Trustees

- **Founding Trustee** - Nadia Hopkins (*nadiahopkins#6292 on Discord*)
- **Ex-officio Trustee (vPA Working Group)** - currently shared by 4 members of working group, in a pairwise rotation as needed:
- Appointed in November
- Dan Mercurius (*DanMercurius#7990 on Discord*)
- Viktor (*Vgr#9617 on Discord*)
- Next rotation
- Simon Sallstrom (*Salen#5312 on Discord*)
- Stephen Hao(*CaptainDang#3915 on Discord*)

:::info
**Founding Trustees** are typically the person or persons who submitted the proposal to Catalyst and bear ultimate responsibility for reporting on it. **Ex-Officio** means "by right of the office" and refers to the fact that Governing Bodies chartered by the side-treasury have the right to elect or otherwise appoint a representative for the group who joins the Board of Trustees. In the future, we may discover other ways to add trustees to side-treasury governance.

### Monthly Reports
**[These are the monthly reports to Catalyst](https://hackmd.io/@PA-vPATreasury/SkplyXSoi)**, and include overviews of side-treasury ecosystem activity and all decisions made by the Board of Trustees. See all funded proposal reports [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wAG5O4PBLRTM01PLUyc3iS9EYOaucyDHryOOG8OVKuk/edit#gid=0)

### Meetings
- **[Discussion Thread on Discord for Trustees](https://discord.com/channels/946921942143885342/980492610147864626)** This is a channel on the CU Discord where Trustees can engage in discussion that is publicly viewable, but in which only current trustees have permissions to send messages.
- Any meetings that the Board of Trustees conducts are to be recorded and shared here, most recent first. This can include "async meetings" conducted via messaging, if the messages or a link to them can be included here. Any decisions reached by the BoT should be recorded in Meeting Notes and included with the recording.
- Meeting 2 (notes)
- Meeting 1 (notes)
