Reports
Finance report
- Current position (in cash): $80,166. See File:2014-03 Wikimedia Australia Inc. - Cash Summary.pdf
- Historical adjustment of $910.50 has been applied to the PayPal account. This was due to the opening balance being taken from an incorrect date, as well a USD/AUD conversion not appearing in the feed that Xero uses.
- One donation ($10) was received this month in the Toombul PO Box by Craig, which has not yet been deposited.
Agenda
- Confidence motion
Claims were made in a public forum that Steven Zhang (President) was undertaking actions in relation to the WMAU mailing lists without the support of the WMAU committee. Steven left the committee meeting in order to avoid any perception of conflict of interest, and the committee deliberated in his absence.

Steven was then invited to rejoin the meeting.

In relation to the paperwork submitted on 26 November 2013.

- Public meetings
There was a consensus that the system of public meetings currently in effect is not working. Committee are going to trial Google Hangout for the next public meeting on 6 April, given the lack of member engagement/attendance at IRC meetings. Will consult through the members' mailing list.
