last week we shortly talked about finances.<br>
<br>
frank seems to have a proposal in the pipe but it does not seem likely that it will be ready in time for the lgm 2018.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>To clarify, I fully expect to have the proposal ready for action by the meeting date, but it is unlikely that it will be completed and approved soon enough to raise money for this year's event.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
i would suggest that for the next bi-monthly lgm meeting we prepare our stuff and try to find an answer to the following questions:<br>
<br>
- do we want to (try to) offer a travel reimbursement for the lgm 2018?<br>
<br></blockquote><div>I think that it is unlikely that we will be able to raise that money this time around, and we must prioritize the execution of the event. But we ought to note this as an objective in fundraising and to seek to meet as much of it as possible.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
- do we want to collect money from the community as LGM?<br>
<br>
- do we prefer delegating the reimbursement to the groups participating in the lgm (each for "their" own people)?<br>
(eventually, one group could collect a bit more and be in charge of the few participants who will really need a reimbursement but are not part of a group?)<br>
<br>
- go for the usual account @ canada and hope that the delays are not too big<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Is this an option? I was under the impression that Louis's schedule was still rather overcrowded. Louis?</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
- does anybody want to be in charge of the "global" finances for 2018?<br>
<br></blockquote><div>It improves my perspective and credibility working on our new prospective deal if I do this. Operationally, though, it's probably best if somebody who has done it be involved at the least. We got volunteers at the 2016 event to serve on a finance committee. I propose that we use that approach to cover both sides of the challenge (immediate operations and future solutions).</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
