I agree with the sentiment, and in lieu of suggesting an alternative at first, decided to
ask for more thoughts, so thanks.
However, even if it is a process we do now, I disagree that (a) it is absolutely necessary
for the exchequer specifically to do this rather than to support the overall process and
encourage better systems to automate and (b) it need not be codified in the description of
the role, but instead as documentation, best practices, recommendations, etc such as on a
wiki page. Further, I would suggest if we did want to keep it in, that we think long and
hard, but add it to the fiscal solvency process, for which we are collectively
responsible, and the exchequer may be the first or default person to implement or act.
Do you think it reasonable to make a new wiki page instead for exchequer operational
insight?

In the second case, I added this because handling the money and being
authorized to use the accounts was key to my being exchequer, and will
remain so, and even if aspects of the processes of handling money are
delegated, distributed, automated, (it happened with wepay a bit,) these
basics remain necessary as a default.

p.s.
I left out some bits about Facilitator and Exchequer, but the rest is
mainly re-worded, reduced, and refined. The omitted pieces (due to
unnecessary in the first case since majority vote already over-rules
facilitator, and too specific for the second case):
Facilitator:
** Uses own best judgment to resolve ambiguity in the Articles of
Association about how business is handled in meetings, but may be
challenged in this by anyone who does not consent, which results in a
majority vote on sustaining or overturning the Facilitator's judgment.
Exchequer:
** Receives dues and donations and pays expenses on behalf of the group,
using the group's accounts.
