Can we please get confirmation from the organisors the relevant code<br>
sprints that this proposal aligns with their preferences of how they<br>
wish to see the money transferred. (I suggest CC them on this motion,<br>
and invite them to identify their role and also vote in their response<br>
to the thread.)<br>

Hi board,<br>
<br>
Please see explanation below and vote on the following motion:<br>
<br>
MOTION: To authorize OSGeo and its Treasurer to run some of the<br>
sponsorship funds for the Vienna Code Sprint through OSGeo's bank<br>
account and transfer the total amount in a single transaction to the<br>
Vienna Sprint organizers, together with the surplus from past C Tribe<br>
Sprints that is already sitting in OSGeo's bank account.<br>
<br>
And I start with my +1 / Daniel<br>
<br>
Explanation:<br>
<br>
For some of the sponsors for the Vienna Code Sprint<br>
(<a href="http://vienna2014.sprint.osgeo.org/" target="_blank">http://vienna2014.sprint.<u></u>osgeo.org/</a>) based in US, it is complicated<br>
and expensive to transfer the funds to the organizer (Stephan Meissl)<br>
in Europe, and it would be easier and cheaper to just mail a check to<br>
OSGeo that would be forwarded in one single transaction together with<br>
the surplus from pas C Tribe Sprints which is already sitting in<br>
OSGeo's bank account and waiting to be transferred when we will be ready.<br>
<br>
We would not want to act as a bank for several events per year because<br>
of the overhead, but in this specific case since we are talking only<br>
about one or two transactions, and we are already handling the surplus<br>
from pas C Tribe Sprints anyway, the additional overhead is minimal so<br>
I think it is worth doing.<br>
<br>
This motion is mostly a formality but I wanted to run this by the<br>
board anyway.<br>
<br>
