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. </div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">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 </div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">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.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Your motions are on the agenda so I assume you will see them tomorrow.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Caryl<br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Jun 2, 2016, at 10:15 AM, Dave Crossland <<a href="mailto:dave@lab6.com">dave@lab6.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">Hi<div><br></div><div>I thought you already posted these motions 12 days ago in the thread "2 Motions Ready (or Not)" - and I also posted my 2 motions recently. </div><div><br></div><div>I thought motions could be passed and voted on at any time?</div><div><br></div><div>Will the motions posted a while ago be voted on?

<div dir="ltr">Hi Folks,</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Many thanks to those of you (especially Dave Crossland) who have helped refine these two motions so that they are relatively simple and easy to use (See attached for final versions). 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:</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><ul><li><span style="font-size:12pt">Allow small expenditures without the need for SLOB action</span></li><li><span style="font-size:12pt">Provide compensation for the Financial Manager (FM) as deemed appropriate</span></li><li><span style="font-size:12pt">Assure that requests for funding of projects are in order before they are formally presented to SLOB</span></li><li><span style="font-size:12pt">Reduce the congestion at meetings with just one person, the FM, presenting requests for funds to the SLOB</span></li></ul></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Those of you who have helped so much with drafting the final version of these motions will notice that I have reset the amount for small requests to $Y, providing the ability of the SLOB to set this amount initially and adjust it as needed over time.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I am currently in the Dallas area for our older granddaughter's high school graduation which has all sorts of events all week. I will do all I can to "attend" tomorrow's meeting.
