[06:12] <valorie> everyone should be sure to read the latest email from Jon to our list
[06:13] <valorie> now getting ready for sleep
[09:18] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> Hmmm. OK So we're going to have a Banking and Fund channel issue imminently. I have on my ToDo List getting Open Collective setup, and Mauro G said he could help me with that. I have the will to do it, but I've been a bit time constrained with work etc.... I can't believe it's November already.
[15:45] <IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Iff push comes to shove, I know the right people to make this work (re @Rick_Timmis: Hmmm. OK So we're going to have a Banking and Fund channel issue imminently.

I can't believe it's November already.)
[18:37] <valorie> I think the issue is more pointed: one of us needs to volunteer to be the Treasurer
[18:37] <valorie> I heard nothing in that email from Jon offering to move the funds elsewhere
[19:14] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> Just reread it, Jon will close Bank & PayPal accounts at the end of the year, because the charges make it non viable. Yes we need a treasure, but it seems we'll need a new bank account at a minimum. Am I reading that correctly?
[23:04] <valorie> @Rick_Timmis that is how I read it, yes. i don't know how things are done in the UK, but here transferring $ to an another account at another bank is ..... difficult
[23:04] <valorie> easier to take the check and put it into a new account
[23:05] <valorie> seems banks are reluctant to let funds out of their control and give it to some other bank
[23:08] <RikMills> I don't think that will be an issue here, but clearly it needs to go to somewhere safe with safeguards
