<div dir="ltr">Our next meeting is tomorrow, 3 June at 19UTC [1], in <a href="http://irc.freenode.net">irc.freenode.net</a> #sugar-meeting.I presume we will have a quorum and vote on the backlog of motions listed in the agenda [2].<div><br></div><div>As for voting any time, I was hoping to see some more discussion on the FM position before asking for a vote. I had posed a number of questions/comments in the draft document that Caryl had prepared that were never answered, so personally I am somewhat at a loss as to how I will vote.</div><div><br></div><div>Specifically, I asked for evidence that there was a pressing need for unilateral approval of small expenditures and if so, why the existing scheme of pushing that responsibility to the teams as we currently do with the infrastructure team isn't a better strategy than putting that control in the hands of an individual.</div><div><br></div><div>I did concede the point that having one person responsible for ensuing that financial transactions with the Conservancy are well form and complete would likely make life for the Conservancy better and thus have no objection to that aspect of the proposal.</div><div><br></div><div>As for the other outstanding motions, they all seem well conceived to me.</div><div><br></div><div>regards.</div><div><br></div><div>-walter</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20160603T15&p0=43&msg=Sugar+Labs+oversight+board+meeting&font=cursive">http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20160603T15&p0=43&msg=Sugar+Labs+oversight+board+meeting&font=cursive</a></div><div>[2] <a href="https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/Minutes#Agenda_items">https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/Minutes#Agenda_items</a></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 2, 2016 at 11:14 AM, Dave Crossland <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dave@lab6.com" target="_blank">dave@lab6.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><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?

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.
