[NCUC-EC] BA incidental expense for budgetary consideration

[William Drake]

understood. I think approving a minor expense online post hoc is as transparent as approving one ex ante. it’s still in the record if anyone cares.

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>

>> After the successful LAC civil society outreach meeting in BA on Saturday 20 June, a group of members who’d spoken at the event went out to dinner.  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.

>> For significant expenses it’d be inappropriate but for a mere $240 I suggest we save time on mail cycles and follow a “if there are no objections” approval rule.  So if there are no objections by Saturday, let’s consider it approved and Milton can reimburse himself, ok?
