  • Reports from Areas & Committees - James
    • Tried to introduce a format for them to be submitted, but almost all have not. (Within 2 weeks, that's understandable.)
  • Status of some policies - James
    • When reviewing policies came across something that I have not been able to resolve asking a number of people:
    • Property Removal, Tool Loans, Donations and others changed on wiki as if changed by, but don't appear to have been actually changed by the board per minutes? I thought it was discussed again, and possibly voted on.
