- From Youtube to council@ on 26 Aug 2020: Notification of copyright claim on LCA2015 conference opening by UMG (Universal Music Group) for “I Lived”.

- Passed
- Membership renewal mails do not appear to have gone out. Do we just renew everyone this time and deal with it next year?
- Renewal mails were turned off.
- AI Julien / Sae Ra to update members.
- [JW] Can we formally adopt Sub-committee Policy v3 and put it up on github (soon to be our own gitlab instance)? According to Russell earlier this year this is considered to be the policy to use for all new subcommittees now. However, at present it’s not accessible along with the rest of our policies: we need to send people the gdocs link instead.
- AI: Jonathan to do that
