Even if that were the case, I'd argue that having $47K in contingency (which would cover about the first month of a law suit) is better than being in the hole a single penny.
I appreciate Google's contribution to SPI and I hope we make them feel that we all appreciate it. How? By keeping it up.

Having a large reserve is a very good idea. We are a corporation after
all (not for profit but still). We need to have a rainy day fund. If, we
weren't providing for our projects in some way that is a different argument.
Thank you to Google for seeing the benefit to having an umbrella
corporation like SPI.
