A couple of days ago, I suggested (on the marketing email list),
that next steps for the marketing committee are to be told how much
budget is available from the board, so that the marketing committee
can then work out how to spend it.<br>
<br>
At the moment, these is little incentive to be on the marketing
committee if there is no budget to work it. So if there is budget
for the marketing committee to allocate, can you please say how
much.<br>

I think the board only needs to kickstart marketing if it
can't<br>
kickstart itself. I would suggest you pursue this on the<br>
Marketing committee mailing list unless you would like<br>
the board to provide fairly detailed guidance to the marketing<br>
committee on what is and is not within it's scope of
operation.<br>

<div>I did raise this on the marketing list originally but it
got bumped to board level effectively. I might be reading too
much into the recent communications on that list but it looks
to me like they are looking for guidance, and I thought we had
made a decision to help revitalise that committee at the F2F
in Seattle. </div>

I spoke up because I could see the mounting frustration at<br>
the lack of responses, and tried to provide a way forward<br>
that could be pursued.<br>

In my opinion it was always ok, but no one picked up on<br>
the question and perhaps at that time there was no<br>
marketing budget established.<br>

<div>It was post Seattle, so the overall foundation budget had
been established, but I don't recall us specifically telling
marketing that there is now money for them to use in this way.</div>
