Treasurer's report

Paula

• Update - not much new to report

• Timescale for developer funding (current commitment is through end Dec 2022)?

  • Funding for the full FY is possible - see CC Google Drive / treasurer

    • As long as no others expenses are pressing: keep him until June 2023 - Tom, Kirstin

    • Decision CC: Proposal accepted! 

• What reserve level we would like to aim for (currently have $90k which is about 3 months, best practice is 3-6 months)?

  • Decision CC: have 6 month reserve right now is accepted - better a year in the long run

  • Set up 3-month reserve now

Tom, Harry, Ians

Update (notes in https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sZFdV6FgvtfBOgRFTuXQ3ipUcroQTch0Y7itELqt-58/edit)

• Summary by Tom Cramer  - 4 meetings so far

• Discussion of 2 models ("Ian Walls model" / "centralized model"), one more will be provided by Marko

• Paula: be aware of changing the governance model itself - it is still quite fresh instead of try to change things in the recent structures → we might get stuck in longish discussions otherwise
