(what was that about a decline in activity on this

list again? Not that this makes the concerns invalid, of course). But the board did have its scheduled meeting on IRC, and I wanted to quickly report some of the business we covered.

First of all, we voted to approve new Wikimedia chapters for Hungary and Norway. Congratulations and welcome to the new chapters! (Maybe that will clear up a question or two that came up in one of the other threads.)

Welcome

Secondly, we approved the completed financial statements for the 2007-08 fiscal year, as audited by KPMG. We're happy to have finished the audit in a successful and timely fashion and look forward to the upcoming fundraising drive.

Good. I am pleased to learn about that. I guess it has something with me being Chair precisely during that period of time ;-)

As a housekeeping matter, we also passed a resolution

needed by our bank in connection with having a brokerage account (used to process donations of stocks).

Everyone attended and all of the resolutions passed unanimously. That's all I have time for right now, there's a lot going on - not just for me, it looks like.
