Just a quick chime in about precedent for paying people.

Which she will not, and that's why I am advocating so strongly for her to be able to do this.LOn Mon, Mar 18, 2019 at 1:38 PM Patrik D'haeseleer <patrikd@gmail.com> wrote:Steve, Julian, would you agree to Omni hiring Jenny at least to do this year's taxes? In my opinion, there is zero chance to hire a CPA who has as much background knowledge of the Omni's finances and would be willing to do it for as low a fee as she is charging.Jenny had suggested a trial period anyway. We can revisit the issue of hiring her permanently afterwards.Patrik_______________________________________________On Mon, Mar 18, 2019 at 1:01 PM Jenny Ryan <jenny@jennyryan.net> wrote:Re: Timing - A quick glance at the edit history of the Google Doc I linked to in my proposal can demonstrate that I've been writing it since last October, knowing I would need to start generating my household's income this year and acutely aware of how much time Omni's bookkeeping work has taken in the past. It should be noted I'm essentially doing the bookkeeping for not one, but 6 collectives (Omni writ large, Sudo, LibLens, partial DIY [they have a secondary fiscal sponsor as well], The Village [a significant amount of work], and BAPS [tho they contributed $0 in 2019 and have no expenses]) and tax season is now upon us.I am unable to attend the Delegate's Meeting this Thursday as I'll be out of town, but happy to answer any questions or concerns remotely._______________________________________________On Mon, Mar 18, 2019 at 11:56 AM Yardena Cohen <yardenack@gmail.com> wrote:On Mon, Mar 18, 2019, 6:58 AM Steve Martinot <martinot4@gmail.com> wrote:

If that is the case, then please give me the full list of criteria I need to meet in order to speak (when I feel like speaking), with the source or foundation for the items on the list. That way, some brave soul can tell me to shut the fuck up if I don't fulfill all the terms of the list. At least, that is the logic of some of the statements made in which my name is bandied about.
Steve, who's telling you not to speak? Quite the opposite, I'm asking
you to say something substantial about the issue of paying Jenny (or
somebody else) to do Omni's bookkeeping, which IIRC you still haven't
done, and which I think should be a bare minimum requirement in a
consensus process where you're the only person blocking, which appears
to be the case here.
For the record, the past 3 delegates meetings have had full or nearly
full quorum.
