I don't think you'd need to sign a report, but if you want to sign the
funding request, you could email the request, then give Beth, or one
of the other board members, a signed copy of the document next time
you see them.

I think Beth is subscribed. If not, you could email her separately.
We've seen each other's email addresses on the main list before. If
you don't have one, I can provide you one.

We don't have an address to send stuff to individual officers, and the
-board list is moderated. You could send to wplug-board, but it may be
faster to email someone on the board directly.

As long as we follow the (simple) chain of command, we'll have met the
formal requirements. I'd like to see steady progress, too, and I tend
to lose steam quickly if there's little feedback. I tend to use phone
numbers to contact people if I need to grab their attention.

I sure hope so. As for now, I'm looking forward to seeing your wiki list.

Keep us all posted!
