Vice Chairmain's Report - Josh Sokol

Treasurer Report - Andrew van der Stock

I have had a kick off meeting with Paul, Alison, Matt, and Tom Pappas (our CFO) from Virtual to discuss a financial handover.

This meeting went well, and filled in a number of gaps for me. The main action items from my point of view are:

  • Establishing an OWASP archive for our financial and other corporate records that is accessible by Alison so we don't lose the lot if something happened to Alison's residence or computer. This applies primarily to our old records, which we need to keep for 7 years, but aren't necessarily used daily.
  • Ensuring that our FY15 year is closed out and our annual report is ready on time. This seems to be in hand, but I will keep on eye on things.
  • Paul is considering moving our accounts to a better financial institution as our current one requires us to use yet another payment service. This should improve our visibility of bills and make reconciliation easier. I support this move, as it should improve our transparency and reduce costs.
  • Once we have final reconciliation and the FY15 books are closed, I will ask my wife (a CPA) to look over the records to ensure things are okay.

Additionally, I asked about a line of credit that I heard was being established. Apparently there is something happening here. My main concern is that it shows up on the books so we can make sure we don't get into trouble by using it for operational expenditure unnecessarily. I understand the need for it, but we could easily get into trouble if we are paying bills on credit without a supporting income.

    • Some dead and inactive email lists cleaned out. Generally low priority re: other demands.
    • 10 hours /month is completely too little for demands from Community, especially for breakage & repair after Matt sets items up for community use. (Matt has details & examples)
    • Net, net Paul now working with staff and Matt T to define how to add resource with 'Matt level access' to cover more common community support needs, vs. Infrastructure/domain/server admin to remain with Matt T.
