That balance is lower than I expected, TBH, but I don't know that that's a big concern as the conference starts paying for itself before the final bills come due. 14:09:15 However, Sthomas, do you have concerns with that number? 14:09:31 #info https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=governance:financials:update_2019_01_17 14:09:49 gmcharlt++ # financial report 14:10:23 gmcharlt++ 14:11:01 miker: Apologies, I didn't see it on the quick scan - does this report include the invoice from the attorney? Or no because that money isn't spent yet? 14:11:29 it looks like the 2017 and 2018 conferences both saw much reconciliation. the change from expectations, for me, comes mainly from the 2017 conference 14:12:12 jvwoolf: it does not seem contain that 14:12:33 I would expect a legal-services line item 14:12:47 I wouldn't expect that to be settled until after we have a bank account and the intial transfer. :/ 14:12:56 JBoyer: right 14:14:05 I wasn't sure if the report reflects an actual balance or if projected expenses are factored in 14:14:29 upon looking at the line items, I don't see attorney fees included 14:14:29 Sthomas: I'm assuming that $51k does not concern you for initial conference costs, is that correct? (less, of course, the outstanding legal fees to MOBIUS and Mr. Dilly) 14:15:21 I'm sorry. I got kicked out and missed a bit. 14:15:29 and in general, the ledger we have access to historically has lagged actual expenditures 14:15:35 Sthomas: what was the last you saw? 14:15:41 and by several months for a good chunk of last year 14:15:46 Votes on minutes. 14:15:55 But $51,000 should be okay 14:15:57 Sthomas: ok, I'll send a paste 14:16:06 oh, ok, you saw that much. cool 14:16:10 so I believe that the 51K is closer to the real amount, but I do not think it should be assumed to be 100% current 14:16:37 gmcharlt: Thanks for the info 14:16:42 gmcharlt: that is a good point. thank you 14:16:43 gmcharlt++ 14:16:55 gmcharlt++ 14:17:02 gmcharlt++ 14:17:04 gmcharlt++ 14:17:10 gmcharlt++ 14:17:20 gmcharlt++ 14:17:23 gmcharlt++ # MOAR KARMA 14:17:50 and never before has an accounting report gathered so much karma ;) 14:17:55 LOL 14:18:00 :) 14:18:11 It turns out all you have to do is a bunch of hard work! Easy! 14:18:40 or write parody songs... 14:18:42 JBoyer++ 14:18:50 JBoyer++ 14:18:50 Dah-dum, psh. 14:18:53 anyway! moving on to.. 14:18:59 #topic SFC update 14:19:10 #info As of 2019-01-03 we have a proposal from SFC for a separation agreement, and as of 2019-01-07 we have feedback from TEP's attorney Mr. Dilly. There was on item of substance to request, a change to the end of reporting requirements with SFC, and that has been communicated. The ball is now back in SFC's court. 14:19:34 mmm... one item, not "on item" 14:19:51 They have the $51K, right? 14:20:00 Sthomas: yes 14:20:18 We are going to need access to that by March to start paying the conference venue. 14:20:19 or whatever the actual amount is, after full ledger reconciliation 14:21:03 Sthomas: is there a date certain we must have an amount in hand? 14:21:04 Sthomas - any idea what our March venue bills will be? 14:21:10 and that 14:21:26 so that we can provide motivational context 14:22:15 Will owe $5000 on March 9 14:22:56 ok, thanks. we will work with that as drop-dead. I am hopeful 14:23:40 other SFC-related communication? We'll get into other non-profit stuff that doesn't relate to the SFC directly in a bit. 14:23:59 They shut down the registration site. 14:24:20 I wondered if that was going to come up now or in the conf report. 14:24:22 Sthomas: is there any information we have about why? 14:24:34 We used the Eventbrite from last year because the cost per reg was less. 14:24:45 Turns out it was still associated with them. 14:24:56 that's when I was going to ask about it, but if we have SFC-related info... 14:25:10 They shut it down without telling us. MOBIUS is spinning up a new one. 14:25:18 ok, so, have we been in contact with SFC? 14:25:47 Nope. They just shut it down. Luckily, MOBIUS has setup the Paypal so our money is not in SFCs hands. 14:26:04 I haven't seen anything on the inside list re the registration site... 14:26:20 ok, and you'll link the new one to the same paypal account, I assume? 14:26:38 Yes. Waiting on a new URL from MOBIUS. They are on it. 14:26:39 a pain of re-creation, but we can continue after that, I mean 14:26:48 Do we have the information for all of the people who already registered? 14:26:49 cool, thanks! 14:26:53 Correct. Not a huge problem. 14:27:04 Yes. The info was preserved. 14:27:10 (well, /not/ cool, but you know what I mean...) 14:27:13 Phew 14:28:04 I'll follow up with karen and see what happened there 14:28:06 The lack of communication is fairly disappointing, if unsurprising. 14:29:03 Agreed. 14:29:15 Very much agreed. 14:29:43 any other SFC-related events to discuss? 14:30:45 separately, perhaps we should look for a time in Feb to get on the phone and sync up, as TEP 14:31:03 sync up re SFC... there are a few threads to pull on. 14:31:23 but barring anything else immediate... 14:31:31 #topic Release Manager update (dbwells) 14:31:46 #info dbwells is not available (teaching a class) but let me know that he will send an email update to the general and EOB lists in the next 24 hours or so. 14:32:26 does anyone (berick for 3.2?) have anything to note for this section? 14:33:04 I thought not (3.3 looks like it will be a nice improvement to 3.2, though) 14:33:09 On to committees and task forces 14:33:18 #topic 2019 Conference Committee (Scott Thomas) 14:33:29 Sthomas: any more updates on conference stuff? 14:33:52 Over $20,000 worth of sponsorships so far. Ebsco and Ingram are the two exhibitors. 14 registrations, but, of course, the site is down. The agenda is done and near ready to be released. Early next week. 14:34:15 awesome! 14:34:23 I am starting to get real sad about not getting to go.... :( 14:34:34 hbrennan: surely you can make it happen! 14:34:42 Agenda looks great. Some really good stuff. Sorry hbrennan 14:34:43 hbrennan, you could present it as a marketing opportunity! ;) 14:35:06 Sthomas: there are some "given" sponsors and exhibitors, but do you want to solicit additional assistance? 14:36:00 hbrennan: I hope you can find a wat to make it, but if not, you'll definitely be missed ;( 14:36:17 We are waiting to hear from one of the big Evergreen support organizations. (Hint.) I'll send out the list we have tomorrow and see if anyone can help with them. It is still early. 14:36:20 I can't do it on personal funds, so nope. :( 14:36:42 Sthomas: I think "they're" one of the given's ;) 14:36:47 miker++ 14:36:53 and I'll look forward to that list 14:36:54 miker++ 14:37:04 miker++ 14:37:11 miker++ 14:37:30 ok, enough of that :) 14:37:44 Sthomas: anything else you need from EOB to make it happen? 14:38:14 We are in good shape. We just need the money from SFC. 14:38:24 Before March 14:38:24 noted, indeed 14:38:48 #topic Outreach Committee 14:38:59 #info Rogan sent an email to the EOB list: We've been fairly quiet this past month due to holidays so our main project we've made progress on is the annual report for 2018 to be distributed at the conference. 14:39:13 rhamby: anything more to add, if you're around? 14:39:52 hearing nothing... 14:40:03 #topic Update on nonprofit status 14:40:11 #info donning TEP hat... 14:40:32 Scott, what do we need in order to proceed with a bank account? (Is this waiting on a COI policy change? my memory is fuzzy, I apologize) 14:40:47 sorry, Sthomas -^ 14:41:16 Yes. We need to pass a COI. 14:41:24 My mind is fuzzy too. New job and all. 14:41:37 Which we all have, as csharp forwarded your message to us some time ago. 14:41:48 miker: sorry, had stepped away for a second, nothing to add to the report this month beyond email but anticipate a lot more for next month 14:41:55 Though I haven't done anything with it yet. 14:42:58 ok, I will collect signatures on the concent agreement over the next week. with that passed back to Mr. Dilly, Sthomas can present the COI to the bank. 14:43:11 * miker marks calendar 14:43:12 Sounds good. 14:44:18 #info Mike will collect signatures for consent agreement on COI to effect the change and provide positive confirmation to Sthomas so he can proceed with the bank 14:44:29 The bank is interested in a certificate of good standing, correct Sthomas? What do we need for that 14:44:57 (Apologies if I've missed an update since I saw you use that term) 14:45:22 Yes. I will revisit that and send an email tomorrow. It has been awhile since I focused on it. 14:45:29 Sthomas++ 14:45:32 thanks, Sthomas! 14:45:35 Sthomas++ 14:45:48 Sthomas++ 14:45:55 Sthomas++ 14:45:56 Sthomas++ 14:46:03 Sthomas++ 14:46:04 Sthomas++ 14:46:53 the Form 1023 is in SFC's hands for review, but I haven't seen anything from them. I will ping, but if we don't see anything by Feb 1, I suggest we proceed with whatever changes Mr. Dilly recommends 14:47:50 opinions on that course of action? 14:48:08 miker: Mr. Dilly sent you and I a copy of from 2848, which we need for the 1023, with signatures. Did anything happen with that yet? 14:48:24 *form 14:48:27 Seems reasonable. The SFC have had a lot of time to respond already. 14:48:34 Agreed 14:48:47 Sounds good. 14:48:54 jvwoolf: it has not. I will dig that back up and proceed via email (direct, perhaps, as appropriate) 14:49:02 +1 to going ahead 2/1. 14:49:15 +1 as well 14:49:19 great, thanks all. 14:49:50 so that Sthomas can participate in this last topic, hopefully, I'd like to move on 14:50:02 #info and now, putting community hat back on... 14:50:08 #topic Site Selection Committee 2020 14:50:21 I open the floor to discussion. I have not been involved in site selection committees in the past, so defer to those wiser than I. 14:50:34 Unfortunately, I have to depart. Board meeting. 14:50:36 do we simply need to create a committee? 14:50:48 Sthomas: thanks for your time! 14:50:53 Bye Sthomas! 14:51:00 miker: I have been on and chaired these committees 14:51:23 I think one just needs to be created 14:51:24 afterl: that was the sound of eveyone else taking a step back in the row :) 14:51:42 yes, I would be willing to chair again to get this moving 14:51:42 LOL 14:51:47 afterl++ 14:51:51 afterl: do you want to lead the selection c... and thanks! 14:51:54 afterl++ 14:51:59 afterl++ 14:51:59 afterl++ 14:52:04 afterl++ 14:52:06 afterl++ 14:52:33 with that in mind, who would like to help on this committee? or, shall we solicit from the general list? 14:52:58 I can first appeal to past committee members 14:53:03 if that makes sense 14:53:12 indeed it does 14:53:13 then take it out to the general list if needed 14:53:27 so, let's make it official with a vote 14:54:03 Does one of us need to make a motion? 14:54:17 terran: we can do that, sure 14:54:38 I move we create the 2020 site selection committee to be chaired by Amy Terlaga 14:54:41 2nd 14:55:01 #startvote Create the 2020 Conference Site Selection Committee, and appoint Amy Terlaga as chair? yes, no 14:55:01 Begin voting on: Create the 2020 Conference Site Selection Committee, and appoint Amy Terlaga as chair?

Should it be sent to MOBIUS? 14:59:28 With the understanding that it will be held until we have an actual bank account? 14:59:57 I think directing it to Scott, for now, would be ok 15:00:08 if he ascents to that 15:00:22 OK, I'll email him 15:00:25 since he'll have first access to the account 15:00:50 thanks, jvwoolf! 15:00:59 anything else before we go? 15:01:09 You're welcome 15:01:32 again, thank you all for your time. have a great afternoon! 15:01:36 #endmeeting
