agree with you it should be clearly defined who in Sugar Labs is
responsible for Google's collections. <br><br>Resources in Sugar Labs are limited and historically we had lost a lot of opportunities because uncollected grant, please research on Trip Advisor's case when lack of clear responsibility for collection let to an unbelievable lack of collection of US$40.000 for internationalization's projects.<br><br>Responsibility isn't clear at
this point.<br><br></div><div>About the
Financial Manager role, it was created by the Board on July's decisions
last year, still they never appointed anyone for the role. <br><br></div><div>In the meanwhile, Adam has continue serving as the <b>representative for Sugar Labs</b>

sorry we still don't have a wiki page that would easily resolve any
