President's Report
Continued thanks to SPI Vice President, Stephen Frost, for handling contracting with SPI's contractors. Stephen continues to do a fantastic job working with our contractors and legal counsel.
Stephen Frost presented a vice-president's report:
We've engaged with a new trademark lawyer to manage our trademarks moving forward. There's some work involved there to get things migrated which I intend to do as they come up for renewal. We will shortly be in discussion with a new IT contractor to work with us to move SPI's infrastructure forward. There are a couple of outstanding efforts regarding contracting with new contractors that I'm working on, nothing of particular exception or interest there. Any questions though, feel free to ask. I continue to work with our counsel on GDPR questions that projects have brought up.
Treasurer's report
Report presented by Michael Schultheiss on behalf of Martin Zobel-Helas.
The SPI treasury team is continuing to process requests and is striving for more timely ticket handling. The backlog is being processed but if there are any board members who would like to assist with treasury tasks, additional help is always welcome.
Secretary's report
