Hiya
There may have been previous email threads about this, so its perhaps been
previously approved in principle.
But, yea, good shout, always room for improvement in processes. I think,
for example, we've previously discussed removing the requirement for gpg
signing, so that's maybe another thing for the AGM agenda.
Cheers
Andy

been sought
*before* Nick spent money because according to our articles the money
cannot be paid unless there is an approval (I think we changed it to not
need GPG at the last AGM but could be wrong). The chance that the spend not
be approved is very real, all that would need to happen is for no other
director to respond to the email with the approval. I’m sure that won’t
happen, but maybe the articles should be changed to be about not committing
the hackerspace to spending without approval rather than approval for the
specific function of the bank transfer. Just something for the next AGM.

Hi
This email was just really sent as a formality, as agreed between
directors. So one director emails the list for approval, so another could
approve it signed with gpg.
Kind of like how you'd make a pull request in git and ask a fellow team
member to approve and merge.
There was never any chance we'd not honour commitments to pay things
previously arranged.
Hope that helps explain the process, and email thread.
Cheers

This is a very broken process if we can now just leave Nick without
payment because we don’t approve it.

Hi
Just an email for approval of spending £466.89 on the final payment on
the new big text. Funds to Nick.
Thanks
Andy
