Information:
The webmasters team mainly consists of leaders and liaisons from other teams, with the purpose to effectively work together on all aspects of our properties and infrastructure.
The team meets as needed, because managing the properties is a daily task and communication is done through Glip, Mails and ADoodle.

Our reports will include general information, actions performed and motions taken over a period of time.
The reports will not be about just one meeting which is planned every month like most teams.

General:

• We are working on making IPv6 available for all websites services including CDN.
  The process involves multiple suppliers and will be performed in phases.
  Rochen has prepared all servers and are creating the "AAAA" records for the websites, we are looking for a new CDN provider with IPv6 support, researching what changes are needed to use Amazon with IPv6 as well.
  
  
• We are looking at the possibilities to join the Cloudflare OpenSource sponsorship program, which will give us the possibility to make our CDN IPv6 compatible as well.
  
  
• The team is analysing with Rochen what actions are needed for server OS and MySQL upgrades.
