==Statement on engagement with Indigenous people and culture==
Wikimedia Australia is committed to engaging respectfully and appropriately with Indigenous people and culture, practising partnership and consensus in pursuing knowledge and documentation of Indigenous culture and history.

  • Be welcomed and wanted by the specific Indigenous community/ies in question

Treasurer's report

Next meeting the balances, income, expenses and APG tracking will be finalised. Need to audit before this can be done, but have funds to be moving in and out of WMAU accounts in the next week or two. This will allow for the reporting to be done for our Simple APG. If there are any expenses after today but before 1 January 2019, I need to know to factor this in but ideally would like no expenses while auditing, as this creates some balance issues within Xero and making it more complex (also time consuming) to deal with. Rough calculations Simple APG of what has been spent will be done later in the week (Tuesday/Wednesday, not available).

  • Account balances:
  • Income:
  • Expenses:
  • APG tracking:

Motion: That Steve Crossin be added as a signatory to the Wikimedia Australia Bank accounts with Westpac, including online access.
