    • Peter expressed concern that Brendan may be overcommitting himself and wondered if he needed help or anything getting the join form done.
    • This is not to be construed as demanding or whining, it's genuine concern that our members don't burn out ;-)
  • Peter moved that we formally applaud the efforts Michael Cordover has gone to to get the AEC senate voting software released for public scrutiny.
    • Seconed by Tim. Passed unanimously.
