      <pre wrap="">We will be setting up meetings with two organizations.

To make this possible, I have taken an action item to explicitly ask the
board for additional funds - allowing our projected budget to match our
not-to-exeed amount.

    I would suggest the the additional 5K for the website/branding
    initiative<br>
    can be allotted forĀ  Board Travel Budget, without increasing our
    over<br>
    all budget for 2017 [1]. That would mean a 0 budget increase for<br>
    Board travel in 2017, which is fine with me.<br>

      <pre wrap="">I also ask that everyone *continue to reach out to sponsors* for this
initiative; we as a board took on some responsibility when passing the 2017
budget to help both the UN Hackfest and the website/branding reboot meet
their funding goals.</pre>
