Meeting notes
Meeting opened 18:35 Attendees Documented Financially Summary Presented * Euro 1731 * Taxes had to be filed, issues due to board transition * German language issues and documents required to be at a German address. Lots of overhead * No spending in last financial year * No donations received either * Setup SPI affiliation to allow for funds to be collected in and held in the US Financial Report Approved Discussion of possible uses for collected funds: Things membership generally in favor of: - travel sponsorship preferred - ship event box for conferences - create additional event box for NA - financial availability for emergency hardware - promotion at events Things membership generally not in favor of: - sponsorship at events e.g. coffee breaks Discussion about future of e.V. and whether SPI (as an example) would make sense - nobody against dissolving e.V. in principle - Feeling that board should investigate and consult members and come up with a proposal Meeting Ended 19:20
