The team discussed membership payments and administrative issues. Ignacio reported receiving invoices from Barry and mentioned a payment error involving a 50 euro invoice that should have been 15 euros. They discussed a 15 euro penalty fee that was implemented for late payments, with Sonya confirming it should have taken effect on March 1st. The Australian Guides Institute paid their membership fee of 250 euros, though there was some confusion about whether they would need to pay the late fee separately.

The team held a casual check-in meeting where members shared updates on their recent travels and current work status. Ignacio welcomed everyone back after a two-week absence and mentioned working on updates with numbers. Sonya reported being back at work after recovering from illness, with plans to return to normal operations by next week. Viola and other team members shared updates about their recent returns from travel and current work situations, including tourist guide training in the Czech Republic and upcoming training programs in Scotland.

Emma discussed her transition from leaving the observatory to a new job, mentioning she is busy with training and upcoming tours. James asked a question about hiring someone for a small amount, but the conversation was cut off before he could fully explain or receive a response.

The meeting focused on transitioning leadership roles within the organization, particularly in training and membership portfolios. Smaro was confirmed as the new Head of Training, with Viola offering support in the background during the transition. The group discussed restructuring various portfolios including conventions, social media, and membership, with several members volunteering for specific roles. Key action items included defining the training committee structure, arranging handover of training email access for Smaro, and establishing regular ExBo meeting times that accommodate different time zones. The conversation ended with expressions of enthusiasm for the new team structure and acknowledgment of the need to better distribute workload to prevent burnout.
