[CREATE] LGM 2012 Travel Expenses

[a.l.e]

hi

since somody is against changing the rule after the lgm has taken place, 
i retract my proposition.

we should stick to the pro-rata rule we had until now.

but i'd like make the process of reimbursement faster: no need to wait a 
20 days for sending in the requests.
end of next week should be enough.

i can activate the form for the reimbursement this evening.

ciao
