3) Approval of the minutes of the previous meeting (unanimously
approved)

4) Include Alberto Roper Pol (University of Geneva) as owner was
proposed by Axel and agreed by all and Philippe to email him. 

Philippe suggested to add to ToR that no individual owner has the right to delete the PC
repository on GitHub unless decided unanimously by the PCSC.  All
members agreed to this proposal. Axel proposed to draft the
modification.

5) The point on removal of owners was raised by Axel.
Why is it important? Because, "All major changes must be approved by
all owners with a 2/3 majority." (see ToR)

Philippe reported that opinion/feedback was requested of all owners
regarding removing owners who are not actively involved or left the
community. The feedback from 5 people (Maarit, Simon, Hongzhe, Nils,
Anders) were received. For rest of 15 owners there were no response.

Nils opined that owners have to be part of decisions, willing to take
the responsibility. Does the existing owner wish to continue taking on
the responsibility.

Matthias suggested that "inactive" owners can be asked how they wish to
proceed.

Inert owner could become a caretaker or become a regular user or some
other term like administrator, guardian, etc (to be brainstormed with the owners).

Philippe volunteers to write up the background for this change and
circulate it amongst PCSC.
