These are the minutes for the December 9th, 2024 SPI Board Meeting, held at 20:00 UTC in #spi on irc.spi-inc.org. LOG.
President's report
Martin, Héctor and I worked with our auditor to get our 2023 financial statements audited. We are worked with the auditing firm on filing our New York State and Federal annual filings. Our Federal filing was filed and our New York State filing is being filed ASAP.
Vice President's report
Honoring SPI Board Email vote performed in late November, I and the existing contractors are working on Kassia's onboarding. Kassia will be, until March 31st, our administrative assistant / projects manager / board aide. We expect to reduce the workload over our other officers and contractors, and to enable SPI staff to focus in several complex tasks we've been postponing for years. I also want to thank to Jeremy Stanley for his continued help handling prospective projects correspondence and membership applications.
Treasurer's report
Payments queue has been cleared a couple weeks ago, but it is filling up quickly, we'll continue with payments over the upcoming weeks. Current status is good. Creating Steam account is still pending, we have all that is needed now and we'll attempt to create it over the upcoming week(s). This is last month of the year, submit any pending reimbursements as soon as possible. Thanks very much for the continuous work of the treasurer team, including president, vice-president and contractors.
Secretary's report
I am a bit behind on updating the website for last month's meeting logs and minutes. An email was sent out with the agenda. F2F meeting planing has resumed. I hope to have proposals sent to the board for review by the end of the year. If anyone has strong opinions about this please share them with me.
