First of all, thanks for taking control of this.

This HSBC online "fumbling" was also taking place before you took up the 
treasurer position. The released irc logs show a lot of talk about this 
topic.

I think I remember asking for a treasurer report last year, but i do not 
remember seeing one, at least not a detailed one. Iirc, it was not your 
responsibility then yet.

Also, you expressed your concern about travel expenses for fully 
employed X developers when you took up your position as treasurer about 
a year ago. This makes me assume that you did not have complete 
visibility before. Do you now have more insight into things now that the 
more detailed records have been transferred to you?

Is there for instance, more clarity on the 10k usd (of amongst others 
Suns sponsorship money) that paypal allegedly made disappear? How does 
one explain that to the us authorities?
