I personally think it is serious enough that he felt like submitting the requests without any consultation or notice, and if you guys take a look at them, even the ones that aimed at simple activities like outreach were focused on the FC activity. The FC is responsible for activities such as fundraising and setting a plan for that. But so far the only thing I have seen from them is the complaint that they dont get any travel slots, and IMHO this is a rather egoistic way of acting.
