Where did I ask for a report?  What people have mostly been asking for is 
*information*, not documents. 

People, including me, find it hard to believe that GTALUG is busily
accumulating money but has no idea what will be done with it.  They
certainly don't see any reason why *they* should give GTALUG money without
first hearing more details of how it will be used and what GTALUG's plans
are.

The suggestion of abolishing this mailing list and immediately creating a
clone of it has a nasty smell of ego trips and empire building rather than
of contributing helpful organization to an existing informal community. 
This isn't helping your case, guys.
