Fair enough :) I am merely observing what I see as current practice
with the Trip Advisor grant :)

Please could you clarify why Walter (or any other SLOB) would
specifically need to be signing documents; I understand that that
Conservancy signs the documents, because legally Conservancy is the
party to them and neither SLOBs nor Members are agents of Conservancy
and lack signing authority.

Conversely, I don't see why SLOBS or Conservancy would be involved in
the management of a project; they only and merely approve the funding,
and until a Financial Manager is in place, this is done by regular
motion.

I understand their policy is that spends have to be agreed by SLOB
within the terms of the grant.
