Disapprove.<br>
<br>
Comment. I would prefer to see the motion that mentors can request
the funds allotted to them. Any funds not requested go to the Sugar
general fund.<br>

<div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Background: Every year,
Google provides mentoring organizations with a stipend for
the mentors. In our first year of participation in the
program, Sugar Labs mentors agreed to have the stipend
directed to the Sugar Labs general funds. We have followed
the same procedure in subsequent years. This year, however,
several mentors asked if they could have access to the
stipends (which are allocated per student internship). We
discussed this at the meeting and agreed that it would be
appropriate to offer these funds as compensation and thanks
to the mentors for their time and expertise (there were no
objections raised). We need to vote on this however, since
the funds are given to the mentoring organization, not the
individual mentors.<br>

please reply to this email solicitation for a vote on the

must recuse myself from the vote.)<br>
