- Previous notes of 6thGA. Will have to be renamed notes IALA Board meeting January 2022. The current notes are the 6th GA notes. No further comments on the notes.
- New members and member administration, 4 new members in 2022, on the existing 57 members out of 2021, makes 61 current IALA members. The majority of current members were receiving a free year of annual subscription (out of 2021).
–Financial Balance 2021 (report of subcommittee), the financial balance was presented and is checked upon by two independent IALA members Alfredo Mayoral and Filippo Brandolini. After reviewing both members approved the Financial Balance with the following three comments (the last two were answered by our previous Treasurer Daniel Knitter in green).
- A mismatch of 0,42E is totally acceptable.
- Three failed payments of 1000E by a certain J. Loy? Are these regular inscriptions? These payments were made to Mollie via Credit Card and are all failed (“mislukt”) — we never had this money on any of our accounts. Most likely it is some kind of Spam that Mollie takes care of.
- 20% of the budget in banking fees seems to high, even if this is a small budget. Guess there is not another solution? The comments concerning the banking fee is fine…but you won’t a cheaper bank if you care about a responsible institution. If one wants to save money you could think of abandoning Mollie and only accept direct bank transfers to the Triodos account and not anymore on the credit card.
