Although many people do wonderful for Wikimedia and its projects, I would like to formally recognize a few of those people today. Daniel Mayer has had the title of Chief Financial Officer for the last year, and has done some amazing work in this role, often despite being in the difficult situation of not having access to the Foundation's bank account. I would like to invite him to continue in this role for the following year, with the promise of getting him better access to the data, by changing banks if necessary. (Don't get me started about stupid online banking systems!)

Thank you for the compliment and I accept your nomination. There is still so much I would like to do in this position that is dependent on having near real time access to the foundation�s financial data. So I very much so look forward to getting read access to the foundation�s bank account (I will call the bank today to get a detailed explanation on how you can set that up).
