Outstanding Debt: Anybody with aged outstanding game debts will need to be formally followed.

Action Point Liz: Liz contacted Nikki about New Horizon accounts. Nikki will have them by next meeting.
Committee has a general discussion on contact in larp in response to discussions generated by Teonn. General consensus is that larp needs to stay safe in combat and personal space needs to be respected. Big games needed to accessible to everyone, people need to look after each other. Continuing the theme of looking out for each other, calling the time outs as necessary and respecting safety before immersion.
Issue: Major events should avoid clashing and stressing the community’s finances. Game financial submissions will need to specify when they intend to take registrations.

Action Point: Put KiL Quest in Kiwi Larp Guide. Ask for banner for Diatribe.
Donation to Larpwriter: nzLARPS will not mandate that every game has to pay to use it but Auckland committee supports the National committee giving a koha. Anna proposes Auckland gives a koha of $150 to Larpwriter. Malu seconded. Unanimous. GMs are encouraged to consider building a small koha into their game costs if they are using larp writer.
Action point: Mike to write a thank you note to Florent.
Due to technical difficulties, we will discuss Teonn budget online.
