amdj presented the auditor’s report. He recommended that the board members be discharged of liability for the past fiscal year, which was granted by unanimous vote.

Annual Board and Auditor Elections
Like the last two years, prior to the MGM, the organisation ran a month-long poll of the entire organisation to allow all members to make a recommendation on how the meeting should vote.
Unlike the last two years, the structure of the board had been changed by a vote during a previous MGM. This meeting elected the positions of chair, treasurer, operations team representative, two general board seats, and two auditors by unanimous vote to approve the election polling.
The vice chair must be one of the elected board members, and for this reason, was elected during the meeting in a real-time fashion, by only the members present at the meeting. This vote was also unanimous.

Other Questions
Acceptance of a pro-bono offer to advise us on the UK Online Safety Act
An undisclosed law firm has offered to advise us on the compliance procedures and consequences of the United Kingdom’s new Online Safety Act 2023, which came into force recently.
The vast majority of the meeting participants were in favour, and authorised a board member to respond to the proposal on behalf of the organisation.
Amend the network policy to discourage or prohibit medical advice
It has come to our attention that some channels exist on the network where medical misinformation is being promulgated that may drag the network into potential liability.
Discussion about whether to amend the network policy to discourage or entirely prohibit channels whose purpose or spirit is the giving of medical advice ensued.
It was also noted that there is an undisclosed website that specifically calls out Libera as being welcoming to this topic, merely because we host their IRC channel.
The meeting decided to submit a proposal for the wording of a policy amendment to the all-staff mailing list, for more discussion during a future MGM.
