[previous DECISION] close accounts at Berlin Sparkasse

Hello,

as one of its tasks, the current board is looking into decisions and meeting minutes taken in the past that were not yet published according to our statutes.

What follows is a decision taken in private, by the previous board, on 2022-09-07, which is now made public.

The account has been closed in the meantime, of course.

This VOTE is to

  1. authorize Florian Effenberger to close all of our accounts at Berlin Sparkasse, cancel any bank cards and EBICS contracts

  2. authorize Florian Effenberger to either directly transfer, or ask Sparkasse while closing, the funds on the account to our GLS bank account; Volksbank Pforzheim will be used only in case there are unforeseen issues with GLS

Rationale to transfer to GLS (which has ~100k € currently) is to split the money a bit. Volksbank Pforzheim already has a multiple of that sum. Sparkasse Berlin has currently ~100k € as well.

Very likely the actual account closing will need two board signatures, but I will try nontheless with the above authorization.

The vote runs 72h from now.

The Board of Directors at the time of voting consists of 7 seat holders (not including deputies). In order to be quorate, the vote needs to have 1/2 or more of the Board of Directors members, which gives 4.

A total of 6 Board of Directors members have participated in the vote.

The vote is quorate.

A quorum could be reached with a simple majority of 4 votes.

Result of vote: 6 approvals, 0 abstain, 0 disapprovals.
Decision: The proposal has been accepted.

One deputy supports the motion.

Florian
