[IAEP] Motions A & B for Tomorrow

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi Dave...

I think most motions are dealt with at SLOB meetings. That is why there is such a "log jam." Often motions are made more or less "off the cuff" and need a lot of revision before they can be voted on. But meeting time is used up discussing them anyway. 

Sometimes there is a time constraint (as there was for Samson's translation project). He got help with a revision and it was voted on between meetings 

The motions in the pdf are essentially the same as the ones posted before in the doc. The only major change was to go back to $Y as the amount for incidental expenses, thus allowing the SLOB to set the amount now and change it easily as needed. This follows the example (Walter's or your idea?) of setting the FM's compensation initially at $0 with the ability of the SLOB to change it as needed.

Your motions are on the agenda so I assume you will see them tomorrow.

It is my hope that they will help SugarLabs move forward in a more efficient, smooth, and transparent fashion. They are designed to accomplish the following:
>> 
>> Allow small expenditures without the need for SLOB action
>> Provide compensation for the Financial Manager (FM) as deemed appropriate
>> Assure that requests for funding of projects are in order before they are formally presented to SLOB
>> Reduce the congestion at meetings with just one person, the FM, presenting requests for funds to the SLOB
