Thanks Asaf , for bringing this up ,
Was not privileged to attend the Saturday meeting but persuaded to
believe it dint achieve much .There has been considerable noise on the
matter of accountability of WMKE funds ,which is very healthy and can
not be wished away .
   Permit me to use this forum to address the Board members whom
members entrusted responsibility , there is work cut out for you ,We
need you to steer us through this murky waters.
 your priority should be;
   1.Set up a dedicated joint account for WMKE funds ASAP
   2.Finalize the incorporation thing ,its unfortunate that Abbas who
was taking care of this  has since left ,who i must applaud for his
immense contribution .
 And finally someone please update me on the status of the audit
committee ,is in place ?
 if this is not done pretty soon we shall be asking ourselves ,...When
did the rain start hitting us ?

 my concerns ,with love!

bruce.

 office holders are primarily answerable to the board, and to the members.
  WMF is a side entity here, and the only reason I have requested and
 received the tracking sheet is that I was told the Saturday meeting
 exploded without actually finishing the review.

 I do hope WMKE can resolve this on its own, and am confident it can.


 It's been two weeks, and I have not heard anything further.  Has this been
 resolved yet?  Is there progress with setting up a dedicated joint account,
 for the interim until WMKE is fully incorporated?

 Thanks,

Asaf

We are planning on tackling this on the next meetup early September.
