Based on Tony Anderson and Caryl Bigenho's work especially -- thank you
Caryl for working for so many months with so many others (including many
hours by telephone today with me alone) to write this up -- and thanks to
many others who've contributed behind the scenes:
The Sugar Labs Oversight Board shall appoint a Finance Manager by majority
vote from among the members of Sugar Labs Oversight Board. The Finance
Manager serves at the will of the board. The Finance Manager may be paid a
stipend at the discretion of the board.
Duties of the Finance Manager will be to:
1. Serve as Sugar Lab's central coordinator on all financial matters.
2. Report quarterly at a scheduled Oversight Board meeting the following:
- Confirmation of the accuracy of the previous quarter's report according
to the Software Freedom Conservancy
- Balance at the beginning of the quarter preceding the meeting
- Expenses during the quarter
- Income received during the quarter
- Balance at the end of the quarter
3. The Finance Manager has discretion to approve petty cash amounts up to
$200 to pay for miscellaneous expenditures critical for the functioning of
Sugar Labs. If approved and everything is in order, these will often be
paid within (about) 30 days of when they are submitted to the Software
Freedom Conservancy, who control Sugar Labs' banking. If not approved, the
applicant is free to ask for a vote at a future Oversight Board meeting.
4. All motions for funding of larger projects will be presented first to
the Finance Manager who will review them to be sure the funds are being
used in a way that appears fiscally sound. If everything is in order, the
Finance Manager will place the motion on the agenda for consideration at
the next possible Oversight Board meeting, and circulate on the IAEP
mailing list for public discussion.
5. At the meeting, after a finance motion has been moved and seconded,
discussion should be confined to the motion.
PS this is very hard work (and I am not yet sure how to determine SL's
exact balance on April 1st 2016) but an early example of a possible
quarterly finance report is below:
