[Eg-oversight-board] Outstanding action items and a few questions

[Terran McCanna]

I had been hoping to work on other things during the Hack-A-Way anyhow, and
I'm sure some of the others were planning on doing that as well. Rules of
Governance working group has worked very well together online so far, so
I'm happy to continue in that manner. Perhaps we could set aside some
longer group working sessions online.
