Minutes

Previous meeting's minutes

• Minutes should state the time that Mel left the meeting.
• Technically we're meant to make the entry point of late people too
• See motions

Xero

• We cannot keep using Brendan's accounts
• Xero subscription has been restarted
• Hopefully transactions will mirror across and avoid manual reconciliation
• IT accounts haven't been moved from Brendan's CC yet, waiting for mirror first to avoid extra work
• Brendan: You have 7 days, start the process with Nick as soon as possible

PPI GA

• See agenda for RoPs
• Timeline: https://gist.github.com/bbqsrc/a9fd39e05139574da0d7
• Three lines of note
  • IX(5): Quorum for the RoP voting meeting and acceptance of the ballot is necessary. The RoP will stipulate that quorum for the voting will be all those registered to vote by the deadline, if there are no objections.
  • XX(2): RoP to clarify that SAPs received could be modified up to date of GA meeting. If this is voted down or removed, any modifications will be considered as formal amendment proposals and will be put to a vote.
  • XX(3): RoP to include line saying "carried amendments do not come into force until the completion of the 7 day voting period except where otherwise specified."
• Brendan notes that Koen already approved this
• See motions

Pozible Shirts

• Joe has the shirt order and is coordinating with Daniel Judge for shipping information
• Hopefully before the next pozible campaign we'll have a reserve of merch so that this isn't a problem anymore
