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

Hey Dennis,

So far only you and Limoke took a vote to have it tomorrow. As of the pad
I created, the extra person listed there is Bruce. I really think we should
have the meetup tomorrow from around 11:30. I'll make some calls and update
you by 10 am.

Been following this issue for a while and i must say i have restrained
myself from being judgmental , Steve, there is no justification for your
actions whatsoever ,BUT  your admission is a step in the right direction ,
We have learned our lesson albeit with a painful experience ,its a learning
process & WMKE will emerge stronger .
  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 .

My regards!

    Bruce.
