Carlo moves to approve the December minutes, and all present approve.

Aeva introduces the topic of our current lack of vice-secretary, and Anne-Marie volunteers for the role.

After a brief discussion, consensus is reached, and a few Board members volunteer to bring a proposal for the creation of a new Committee to the next Board meeting.
