Disagree. The oversight board is responsible. Jointly and severally; which means each board member is responsible, and the board as a whole is responsible. As an organisation with no staff, the board is all there is. > Resources in Sugar Labs are limited and historically we had lost a > lot of opportunities because uncollected grant, please research on > Trip Advisor's case when lack of clear responsibility for collection > let to an unbelievable lack of collection of US$40.000 for > internationalization's projects. > > Responsibility isn't clear at this point.
