There is improvement. The reports are vastly more informative than the
complete lack of information we had seen previously. However, there is still
no line-item information on how SPI is receiving and spending project monies,
just high-level summaries. I am also concerned about the security and
organization of the filing system and how paperwork is being disposed of.
If we could get the invoicing cycle down from 180 days to 30 or something then
we would be getting somewhere. I'm also curious to see whether reports
continue since the January '05 report is the first and only one ever
delivered. But hey! I'm behind you guys 100%!

Well, since Branden sent the board a picture of my invoice sitting on top of
the sorted papers I assumed you were aware of it. Of course, maybe that
wasn't "procedural" enough for you guys to take any action on it.

Last DPL duty cycle then.
