It is my hope that they will help SugarLabs move forward in a more efficient, smooth, and transparent fashion. They are designed to accomplish the following:</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><ul><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Allow small expenditures without the need for SLOB action</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Provide compensation for the Financial Manager (FM) as deemed appropriate</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Assure that requests for funding of projects are in order before they are formally presented to SLOB</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Reduce the congestion at meetings with just one person, the FM, presenting requests for funds to the SLOB</span></li></ul></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Those of you who have helped so much with drafting the final version of these motions will notice that I have reset the amount for small requests to $Y, providing the ability of the SLOB to set this amount initially and adjust it as needed over time.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I am currently in the Dallas area for our older granddaughter's high school graduation which has all sorts of events all week. I will do all I can to "attend" tomorrow's meeting. If I'm not there, you all (Texas speak) will know why.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Caryl</div> </div></body> </html>
