<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>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>regards.</div>
