Point 2: Treasurer's Report

(Masoud, 10 min)

status of member abonnements and old debts (i.e Nebuleuse, SwissMotionTech, LemanMake)

None have yet been sent... We will do this tonight! We decided also, to let go the workshop fees from LemanMake, as they did not make as much as they hoped - (about 250chf was due for the foldscope workshops, but whatever...)

old debts and requirement for invoices for cotisations in general.

we need to decide about reminders and payments or lack of payments!

- status for facturation system??

Rachel will ask Raffael which we use for Space Alliance. (? can we piggy back on that??)

if just one big invoice per year, maybe not soo bad?

Proposal for decision and/or help needed

will decide between 3 systems, cogitos, odoo, or raffael's pref.

Vote result and/or next steps agreed upon

Masoud has our confidence to get it together, after RA finds out from Raffael ours for coop

(before next meeting, we hope all is set)
