[NCUC-EC] BA incidental expense for budgetary consideration

[William Drake]

Personally I don’t see the need to bureaucratize this all that much. We wouldn’t know in advance of each meeting whether there will be a dinner to fund or how much would be needed, so ex ante allocations seem unnecessary. It’s not that hard to do what we just did, bill approve reimburse…

Again, this is not to complicate things but to improve transparency on the one hand, and facilitate reimbursement on the other. Am I becoming such a big policy fan? <OutlookEmoji-😊.png>

Paying the bill turned out to be complicated because everyone had different currencies and credit cards and the waiters were looking stressed, so Treasurer Milton and myself made an executive decision to put it on his credit card for reimbursement by NCUC.  Since the amount of money involved ($240) was small, we’d done the same thing after the Washington DC outreach meeting in January, and the diners had after all shown up and done work for NCUC, this seemed like a reasonable decision.
