+ one on refunding Phil in full for whatever he's had to pay for. Can
we get one more +1 on that, KC?

1. Phil, will you write to Jon, our Treasurer and ask him to give you
that money in whatever way is best.

2. Phil, if you have a ticket open or account details that Aaron will
need in his request to linode, can you please give those to him
privately?

Clive, thanks for bringing this issue up so it doesn't get forgotten
and more expensive.
