These are the minutes for the November 11th, 2024 SPI Board Meeting, held at 20:00 UTC in #spi on irc.spi-inc.org. LOG.
President's report
Martin, Héctor and I have been working with our auditor to get our 2023 financial statements audited. We are also working with the auditing firm on filing our New York State and Federal annual filings. Our Federal filing has been submitted and our New York State filing will be filed shortly.
Vice President's report
OpenVAS disassociation, pending since 2018, is finally complete. I have also written a FAQ for some Treasury-related questions which projects often have. It'll soon be available on SPI's website. SPI is still working on ways to make easier for project liaisons to check how the project funds are doing, to share them with their community should they wish, and to spend said funds. I also want to thank to Jeremy Stanley for his continued help handling prospective projects correspondence and membership applications.
Treasurer's report
2024-11-11:
Due to personal issues, there are some payments delayed, however, I expect to have more time again after a week. It is much appreciated the work by president, vice-president and contractor to keep up the good state of accounting and payments. Thanks to the team for all the support. If any delay affects you, please reach out and we'll prioritize it. Thanks for your understanding.
2024-10-14: (pending)
2024-09-09:
Processed pending payments in the queue. Updated accounting books with latest statements. Thanks very much for the continuous work of the treasurer team, including president, vice-president and contractors.
Secretary's report
I am awaiting the 2024-10-14 Treasurer report. ~I am awaiting the 2024-09-09 Treasurer report.~ (amended as above) I will have a fairly comprehensive F2F meeting plan prepared this week for review. Thanks for your continued patience.
