Summary

DST ends in parts of the northern hemisphere, make sure you check the calendar for next meeting.

The proposed SPI merger requires a number of amendments in the by-laws. These amendments require both sign-off by SPI and a member vote, so we'll document them and try to get the SPI sign-off first.

Items discussed

ITEM: Bank change
After the HSBC debacles, we have a new account with Bank of America. This
should hopefully make international transfers a bit easier, specifically for
the outstanding payments due to exchange rate differences (see last meeting's
minutes).
STATUS: Complete

ITEM: SPI merger
Several items in the by-laws require amendment for a merger with SPI.
Changing by-laws requires a membership vote. The proposed changes will be
collected and sent to SPI for a preliminary sign-off.
ACTION: Martin P to collect/document the required changes
STATUS: Pending
