Need to add Loz Kaye to the press mailing list and NEC mailing list, and remove Andrew Robinson from these lists. Action: Miah Gregory will talk to Tom Lilley about this.
Spreadshirt
As above, Andrew Robinson will transfer this across to Peter Brett. A bank account will need to be added once this has been organised to collect the royalties.

Chris Monteiro is updating the forum access levels for Andrew Robinson and Loz Kaye.
Party’s registered address
Loz Kaye and Peter Liddell need to agree a new address and change Party Leader details. The address on the various internet domains will also need to be changed. Action: John Barron will find out what forms etc need to be filled in and organise this.
Progress with bank accounts
Andrew Robinson has access to the co-op account at this stage.

Unsure with progress on this front. Plan is to write up a spec, agree it via the officers mailing list, then pass this spec to web team to implement. Action: Peter Brett will write something up and send it to the list.
Ahdkaw’s membership status has been resolved after being in limbo for a month or two, and he has been given additional time on his membership to make up for this.
Web team size
