In the board meeting, the conversion from donation currency was discussed. This was changed from allowing all currencies supported by liberapay to just EUR to make fees more transparent. Also it was decided to setup a temporary e-mail as well as website. The decision about pseudonyms was ratified. This also meant a change in privacy policy which needs to be acknowledged by the plenum.
