Re: [802SEC] Updated files for Telecon on June 5th 10am ET
Geoff -
802.1 has always operated without treasury - we expect the financial
details of our Interims to be handled by whoever is sponsoring the meeting.
So far I have not needed to call on the $200 "allowance", but I may do so
in July to reimburse the cost of buying a copy of the 1905.1 Sponsor ballot
draft.
Which obviously begs the obvious question as to what constitutes reasonable
expenses that would be reimbursed under that "allowance".
Regards,
Tony
