2021 EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL ASSEMBLY MINUTES

+

+Association PostgreSQL Europe
+13 rue du Square Carpeaux
+75018 PARIS
+

+

People attending the meeting

+ +

The first EGA which happened on June, 7th, 2021 didn’t meet the quorum. These minutes are for the second EGA meeting. As such, no quorum is needed. Thus, the meeting is valid.

+

Magnus Hagander is the president and Lætitia Avrot is the secretary of the GA meeting.

+

Meeting starts at at 19:02 (Paris time), the 2021-06-14, on the IRC network freenode.net, channel #pgeu-ega2021. Language is English, the report is available in English and French.

+

The agenda is:

+ +

Statutes changes

+

Lætitia Avrot gave a brief summarization of the statutes changes. The changes are available here.

+

There are several changes:

+ +

Several questions and comments were given:

+ +

First vote with the question ‘If/when we change the statutes, would you prefer a 15% or a 20% quorum requirement’: 19 voted 15%, 12 voted 20%. 4 didn’t vote.

+

Thus, the quorum at 15% is the option to go with.

+

Second vote with the question ‘Approve the suggested statutes, with the change in the French statutes (removing the list of technologies), and the change to not be gender specific in the English version?’: 35 voted ‘yes’ out of 35 present in the channel.

+

Brief finantial update for 2020

+

Lætitia Avrot gave a brief finantial update:

+

In 2020, PgDay Paris, Nordic PgDay, PGConf.DE, and PGConf.EU had to be canceled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The hosting venues were agreeable to either canceling our reservation for free (because local laws did not allow larger events at this time), or to postpone events to a later date. For PGConf.EU the postponement came at a cost of 100.000€ (negotiated down from the contractual 200.000€), of which 50.000€ is held as a prepayment against the next conference.

+

As we had already paid the reservation fees for PgDay Paris, Nordic PgDay, and PGConf.DE 2020, at first glance it looks like we lost around 100.000€ in 2020. That however is not true. Some of this money is an investment for the events that will be held at a later date. Only in the case that we cannot hold events in 2022 might some of this money be lost.

+

The Association has enough money in the bank account such that even the 50.000€ advance payment is not a cause for concern over cash flow. We have had no need to utilise any money in our two saving accounts so far, however we might need to use some of it for the next PGConf.EU.

+

In 2020, we also incurred legal costs that we have not had in the past. We spent 10.000€ on legal counsel for ongoing issues.

+

Several questions were asked:

+ +

Meeting ends at 22:07, Paris time.
