President's Report

Many of the board were able to meet via video conference last month in
lieu of our monthly IRC meeting and in lieu of our fall in-person face
to face meetings.  Many fruitful discussions were had and thank you to
all of the board members who were able to attend.

Stephen Frost, Héctor Orón Martínez, and I are planning on an in
person meeting in Indianapolis this spring to update the signatories
on our bank accounts, meet with our wealth management advisors, and
finalize handover of treasury tasks.  The scheduling of this face to
face meeting is still being finalized.

Continued thanks to SPI Vice President, Stephen Frost, for handling
contracting with SPI's contractors. Stephen continues to do a
fantastic job working with our contractors and legal counsel.

Treasurer's report

Payments queue is being processed. We are still pending to do
signatures in real life when F2F in Indianapolis in spring.
