Vice Chairmain's Report - Josh Sokol

Treasurer Report - Andrew van der Stock

• This month was very quiet.
• I've reviewed the January 2016 P&L summary sheet. It does not contain a lot of (obvious? any?) detail for March 2016.

- I would like a new P&L summary every month. If this sheet is hard to do, will talk to Paul and Laura about gaining access to the raw data.

• There was one expense for $27k relating to a booking for AppSec USA (it's a surprise) that will be broken into three smaller payments, which means I don't have to approve it, but it's within the budget for AppSec USA.
• I did not approve any expenses over $10k as none arose.
• Expenses are generally raised and approved in a timely fashion.
