2. Finance collective to be established (two current members, others welcome). Oversight and money-tracking role only - no power to allocate funds or reimburse people. Collective to report and bring accounts to each spokes meeting. Accounts to be kept using in/out book. Accounts not to be made public on web.
3. Money allocated to collectives to be kept safe and used as they decide. Preference for any substantial amounts to be kept by somebody solvent and reliable to ensure ready access. Collectives have sole spending power. Decisions about allocation of funds from central pot to be made by spokes council meetings.
