Treasurer update

• AWS  costs 14.000 $ /month until now
• Increase to 25.000 $ / month is expected and even more
• To cover that costs it is right now not possible to cover free WolfCon tickets
• Because of these increasing costs FOLIO cannot offer the quantity of free WOLFCon tickets that were in the original membership levels.  See notes under the MOU discussion.
• We need an update from Peter Murray, how those costs are developing
