New Business

• James has a concern
  • A while back, we banned a person
  • James thinks that this person is reasonable and acting reasonably
  • He wants to call a vote to unban him
  • The DRC recommends that the permanent ban stand
• Scholarships have been kind of stagnant
  • We currently have no Member Management Team, as Claire is taking a step back
  • Ian will post a form for new volunteers
  • Claire will stay on as a volunteer because she is a Stripe expert
• Carl says we can buy the building on December 1st without cutting into area budgets or the contingency fund
  • James and Nick are meeting with Chase on Friday to confirm details about our line of credit
  • There is some back and forth about numbers and the contingency fund, but the general consensus is that we will be fine.
