Re: [802SEC] Proposed rule change for Treasurer for July meeting
I don't agree. I'd prefer to have the text be just:
> d) All IEEE 802 LMSC expenditures require the approval of the Sponsor
Rationale: we don't have any guideline on what is an "appropriate expense". The provision was originally put in place because of costs that don't occur any more (copying and mailing expense) at a time when we didn't have the ability to approve motions by email ballot.
