1. Refer to:

   • Email "Action: [Fae017] Contracts and Agreements corrective and preventative action plan // was: Midas", 22 November 2012 @08:09, which recommended an independent audit of procurement records, processes and policy.
   • http://office.wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Decisions/Payment_of_Invoice_241 where the board of trustees approved payment of an invoice for £7,898.40 without reference to an authorized existing agreement.
     • I note that the Board agreed that the invoiced services had been delivered here. Mike Peel (talk) 21:54, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
       • as you are aware that was never in dispute, and was not the matter of necessary financial and legal records for the charity that should have been in place, in my opinion as a trustee with a duty of operational oversight (a duty we jointly share), before this invoice was paid. --Fæ (talk) 08:54, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
   • http://office.wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Decisions/Train_the_Trainers_February_2013 a draft for a vote of the board of trustees.
     • This is still being drafted. Mike Peel (talk) 21:54, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
       • Yes, as I stated. It was created by you on 15 December. I have highlighted it as part of the evidence that our fellow trustees should read in advance of this board meeting due to my statement in the discussion section, which includes my recommendation that this vote should not be held (again) in camera as I see no benefit in continuing to keep this issue a secret when it has now been a matter of contentious discussion by the board of trustees for several months and is underpinned by financial records which must become public at some point. If it is still draft at the time of the board meeting due to a lack of trustee engagement, there is no particular reason for the trustees to vote on it at that time, indeed there is no particular commitment at this time that the TTT event must be held in February as there can be no contract in place for the event. --Fæ (talk) 08:54, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
