Hello Folks!
After today's meet-up that was fruitful I wish to take on my action item that requires a proper audit of the spending of our chapter. To make the process open to everyone (even those w/o access to Gdocs) , I have created a Wiki Page on the chapter Wiki [1].
I highly recommend that we use the discussion page [2] to ask questions/clarifications that are not ultimately clear from the list of items I have given.
Thanks,
Stephen.

So from today's meetup, we came to the following resolutions: - *Finance Audit*: *Steve* is to provide an expense sheet of our finances so far for scrutiny by the members. He'll be in touch shortly with more details on that. - *Chapter Registration*: As of now, this is a *high priority* matter for the Chapter. There were some pending matters with the lawyer so I'm ( *Alex*) to meetup with Abbas (who was overseeing this process) next week so that he can hand over this responsibility to me. Updates coming up next week after I meet the lawyer - we aim to register latest by end of 2012 - *Membership structure*: as of now, we don't have a definite way to tell who is a member and who isn't. So we settled on starting a new membership drive to come up with structures of registering members and get out an officla list of the same. *Bruce* will be driving discussions around this and should be in touch shortly. -latest by end of 2012 - *Board Status*: Normal operations of the chapter will from now henceforth be run by chapter members until we have set structures up and running and an official list of registered members seeing that it's not the best time to carry out a board elections - *Projects*: The Chapter will not be actively following up on any projects until the above structures are set. But it is highly encouraged for chapter members to continue doing so at an individual level until the time which WMKE will be in a position to do so. >From today's meeting, I can now say that we are moving towards getting things on the right track and hope for a much better year in starting 2013. best, Alerx On Sat, Oct 13, 2012 at 9:43 AM, Alex Wafula <xelawafs@gmail.com> wrote:Hi all, So the meetup is confirmed for today at 11:30 am in Nairobi uni.

I want to believe that if we had the structures in place ,the unfortunate incident will not have occurred ,i call upon WMKE members to rededicate themselves to the activities of this young chapter , to the board,registration of WMKE is long overdue ,an audit of the expenditure is required & finally the issue of joint account .
