No agenda items

from Rob: "Here is my reply to someone looking to buy stickers. he or she found carbusters.org OK but could not find where to buy stickers. we might make more money and spread more message if there were some more obvious navigation to the shop--a nice graphic with direct link might be best. also, the kagi URL might be confusing; that page could be embedded in a frame with carbusters.org/shop as the main URL. just more grist for the mill..."

Present: Christi, Randy (via Skype), Bas, Steven

Announcements:

• It appears we will get NESsT money. Christi got email saying the next step is for NESsT to visit and "decide which phase of the social enterprise development process to incoporate [us] into." Seems like that means they decided to give it to us, but the specifics are not finalised. Should not count on until we have contract of course.
• Radka and Christi did more indepth analysis of budget. We will have enough money to operate according to the budget in the grant, plus some excess. Amount of excess depends on if we get NESsT and if our RC/CB/Conference incomes come out higher than projected. We are under budget on personnel, which could lead to us not getting a full balance payment in 2008. We could remedy this by hiring an extra 1/2 person for the remainder of the year. Radka and Christi think a person to do IT and CB marketing (1/4 time on each) would be good. Others should think about ideas, and we can discuss next week when Kamila, Radka and new people are here.

Agenda: 1. PayPal We are already working on a switch to Paypal, in reference to pre-agenda item. There is an issue with the new contracts that is still unresolved.
