<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Stephanie,</div><div><br></div><div>I just saw your statement on the mailing list regarding the bank account as follows:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>"
<font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">I am happy to sign a letter
that acknowledges my accountability for any funds that I will deposit on
behalf of NCSG, and any payments will of course be made only with the
consent
of the NCSG-EC; the Finance Committee canbe cc'd on those if that is a
function that you wish to commence doing (oversight, not approval).</font></font>
"</div><div><br></div><div>
1. If my memory serves me well, the last time NCSG FC discussed the bank
account there was no way forward, not sure how this decision was reached
because the FC was yet to investigate and discuss the matter before any
action taken according to your comments during an online meeting and on the mailing list,
correct me if I am mistaken, maybe I am losing something here.</div><div><br></div><div>2. What provoked this action from your side?<br></div><div><br>
</div><div>3. Please kindly clarify what you mean by oversight not approval? Are you referring to the FC and/or the PC of NCSG? If any, please also carefully review section 2.6 of NCSG charter because the charter is the guiding document of NCSG activities and committees, thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>Thato Mfikwe.<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Jan 14, 2019 at 11:23 PM Stephanie Perrin <<a href="mailto:stephanie.perrin@mail.utoronto.ca">stephanie.perrin@mail.utoronto.ca</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">As promised, I have opened a bank account for NCSG under my name at the Royal Bank of Canada, Pakenham Ontario Branch. I have named Tamir Israel of CIPPIC as an "or" cosigner, which means either one can sign a
cheque. This will of course only be used if I get hit by a bus, which is a really bad joke in Ottawa these days because we just had a dreadful bus crash which killed three people. (proving that even old expressions like that one have meaning.)</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">The account is free, because I am a senior, and I can write cheques or do e-transfers with it. I think it is all we need for now, but if someone like PIR wants to write us a cheque, they have to write it to me
on behalf of NCSG so that I can deposit it. I think we are stuck with that reality until we create an entity. Even a non-incorporated ngo would have to have a business number, which has tax implications, so this is our best solution. I will forward the
bank details, transit numbers etc. as soon as these numbers are available online. I am happy to sign a letter that acknowledges my accountability for any funds that I will deposit on behalf of NCSG, and any payments will of course be made only with the consent
of the NCSG-EC; the Finance Committee canbe cc'd on those if that is a function that you wish to commence doing (oversight, not approval).</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">I am happy to discuss any aspects of this either on the list or on our next call. Advice from Milton, who has so ably managed our money in NCUC for many years, would be most welcome.<br>
</font></font></p>
