President's Report
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 advisers, 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
We have asked auditor to do last year audit, and they are OK with that, so we are going ahead with that Signed AWS logo usage policy for OpenZFS and processing payments as usual, we are in good state.
