<br>
</span>I did not ignore it; it just isn't relevant to accounting@ yet.<br>
As previously explained, we can only send the funds<br>
that have been approved by the PLC as communicated to Conservancy by the<br>
Representative under the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement (FSA) between<br>
Conservancy and Sugar Labs. Given the situation, we really do need to just<br>
follow what the FSA says, and that's what it indicates should happen.<br>
<br>
Also, I reiterate again our request that <<a href="mailto:accounting@sfconservancy.org" target="_blank">accounting@sfconservancy.org</a>> not<br>
be cc'ed except on finally approved matters relating to payment and<br>
documenting approved payments.<br>
<br>
Your request for additional funds is not yet an accounting matter; it relates<br>
to approvals not yet given. I suggest that discussion about approval, if<br>
needed, continue on <<a href="mailto:sugar@sfconservancy.org" target="_blank">sugar@sfconservancy.org</a>>; It only slows down<br>
Conservancy's work for Sugar Labs if <<a href="mailto:accounting@sfconservancy.org" target="_blank">accounting@sfconservancy.org</a>> is cc'ed<br>
on that discussion. Please ask the Representative to send any concluded<br>
approvals to <<a href="mailto:accounting@sfconservancy.org" target="_blank">accounting@sfconservancy.org</a>> at the end of that discussion.<br>
<br>
We do plan to wire $897.73 to Samson tomorrow. If the Representative<br>
communicates to us additional amounts approved for payment -- be they for a<br>
stipend or travel advance -- we will make reasonable efforts to expedite them<br>
because we're well aware of the funding difficulty of traveling from Nigeria.<br>
