Meetings are weekly, and take place in the early evening for each timezone, although the day will vary a little each week, to ensure that as many membership candidates as possible can attend.
Each Board should have an appointed secretary, who can vary as often as the board wishes, to carry out the following tasks:
Add successful membership candidates to the [https://launchpad.net/~ubuntumembers Launchpad group].
Report successful membership candidates to the UbuntuWeeklyNews and add a short summary for each member (which should be taken from the candidate's personal wikipage).
Between May and July 2008, board secretaries are also responsible for reporting approved candidates to the CommunityCouncil, to evaluate the approval system.
If there is a contentious or disputed membership application, it can be referred to the CommunityCouncil.
