      <div dir="ltr">Apparently we did not actually get all the votes
        necessary to approve a motion to pay Devin a $500 stipend for
        his time taken away from his Day Job to help with the Turtle
        Blocks workshops at the Constructionism Conference. The motion
        was made and voted on at the 2015-12-07 meeting [1]. There were
        only three votes cast. (I thought four had been cast.) There was
        no objection raised at the time and Devin did take a week off
        from work to attend the meetings and run the workshops. I'd like
        to reopen this motion with the new board and take a vote.
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Motion: offer Devin U. an honorarium ($500) to compensate
          him since he needed to take a week off from work to run two
          Turtle/Music Blocks workshops at the Constructionism
          Conference. The funds would be allocated from the Trip Advisor
          grant which are in support of promoting and advancing Turtle
          Blocks around the world.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Please respond ASAP, as I feel we need to clarify the
          situation and not leave Devin hanging.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Adam, in the future, it would be nice to get a heads up
          when you find mistakes and not just catch them by noticing a
          change to a wiki page.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Also, I need clarity regarding the Trip Advisor grant. I
          believe that the oversight board has previously granted me
          approval to spend grant money on workshops under the
          conditions that (1) I inform the committee of my plans and (2)
          I don't exceed the budget. Apparently this is not the
          understanding of some of you and not the understanding of the
          SFC.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Motion: Walter, as PI of the Trip Advisor grant, will
          inform the SL oversight board of his plans for workshops that
          fall under the guise promotion of Turtle Blocks but otherwise
          has discretion in organizing and funding these events, within
          the budget constraints of grant and the travel guidelines of
          the SFC.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Please take action on this ASAP as I am many months without
          reimbursement for travel for several workshops.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>FWIW, the large proportion of the travel and expenses
          associated with the workshops to date has been paid for by
          third parties. I've been able to stretch the budget quite far.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>thank you for your attention.</div>
