The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.

The board voted to re-elect all officers to their current roles.

The board voted to amend the by-laws to state that "The mailing address of the corporation shall be 2515 4th Ave. #1108, Seattle, Washington.  The corporation may have offices within or without this state as the board may from time to time determine or the business of the corporation may require."

The board voted to amend the by-laws Article IV, Section 3: "She or he shall, when duly authorized by the Board of Directors, sign and execute all contracts in the name of the Corporation."

The board voted to amend the by-laws such that Article IV Section 1 reads: Unless otherwise provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board may elect or appoint a President, one or more Vice-Presidents, a Secretary and a Treasurer, and such other officers as it may determine, who shall have such duties, powers and functions as hereafter provided. All officers shall be elected or appointed to hold office until the annual meeting of the Board. Each officer shall hold office for the term for which she or he is elected or appointed and until her or his successor has been elected or appointed or qualified. Any officer may, with the approval of the Treasurer, sign all checks, drafts, notes, and order for the payment of money, as duly authorized by the Board of Directors."  

The board noted that its understanding of this new text requires both that the board authorize the expenditure and that the Treasurer must approve of the check being signed.  

The board then voted to remove from Article IV Section 5 (Treasurer) of the by-laws the clause requiring that the Treasurer sign all checks, drafts, notes and orders for the payment of money. 

The board voted to defer consideration of a conflict of interest policy, and to vote on said policy via email.

The Treasurer gave his report:  noting that we started the year 2007 with $9,627.74 and ended the year with $7810.64.  The Treasurer detailed out the expenditures that account for this difference.    The board approved this report, noting that the expenditure on credit card processing was to enable us to receive donations via credit card, but that we did not, as yet, have an interface to do so.

The board voted, approving the Treasurer's request to open a savings account.
