Treasurer update

 

@Paula Sullenger 

  • 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
