Hi, Dave<br>
<br>
I think both motions need further explanation. <br>
<br>
In the case of the GSOC stipend, I assume the total amount is
transferred to SugarLabs. That amount is based on the number of
slots (6) and not on <br>
the number of mentors. The amount is fixed per slot ($500). So SFC
would take $250 and SugarLabs would take $125. This would result in
a balance <br>
of $2625 or $262.50 per each of the ten mentors. Each mentor could
individually decide to request the $262.50 or leave it in the
General Fund.<br>
<br>
In the case of the membership donation. It appears to be a donation
since there is no penalty. I think it should be a donation request
with the amounts <br>
as an 'expectation'. I don't understand the 'rewards' for larger
donations. What is a release codename?<br>
<br>
More importantly, I think the first step is to provide a simple way
for members or non-members to donate to support Sugar Labs. Is this
paypal, credit card or .... Is this something that SFC must provide
or can SugarLabs do this on its own?<br>
<br>

<div dir="ltr">As Adam has pointed out, this motion
has failed to pass. It seems that there is some
support of the idea of offering at least a portion
of the GSoC stipend to mentors who need/request the
funds, but the form of the current motion, putting
the authority into the hands of the mentors
themselves does not have adequate support. Perhaps
someone can craft a motion that would be better
received by the oversight board.</div>

<div>I submit the following motion draft for comments,
based on Sebastian's text, which I believe expresses
Tony's sentiment, and pays a courtesy to Lionel's
sentiment. With the existing votes for the previous
motion plus Tony's swing vote, the motion can pass.</div>

I invite anyone else to comment on my 2 planned motions, and
I'll submit them at the end of the week :)
