What do we think being Treasurer involves? I thought it was reviewing,
and ensuring, we had the quarterly reports for the regular quarterly
board mettings.

If so, I personally think your skills for this are fine :)

I've redacted out the mention of this from the minutes. I've also just
gone through again in some detail and made some change: (think we
need, occasionally, to be more careful in our choice of words), e.g.:

  * AC is referred to simply as "Trophies" which is not quite how the
discussion went and would not be something we should publish. I've
altered this.
  * Pulled togeher discussion around project coordinator (one of most
important items)
  * typos e.g. general council rather than general counsel

Anyway for my part I'm now happy for these to be published :) at their
usual location:
