<div>Dear Jody and All</div>
<div>I share the same thought:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> "I am not sure how comfortable I am with OSGeo taking on 100% of the funding for this activity - I prefer to a collaborative approach with sponsors and partnerships"</div>
<div>Let us discuss it in the next Board meeting and then we'll vote in Loomio.</div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Maria </div>

<div dir="ltr">Translating - "terms of reference" --> I am going to guess you mean the updating the motion that created the conference committee and provided it a mandate to function. Checking
<a href="http://www.osgeo.org/conference">online</a> I can find "goals" but not a mandate, the
<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_Committee#Goals">wiki</a> lists responsibilities which is an improvement. Does anyone have the initial motion that created the conference committee handy?
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am fine with the board handing over responsibility, conference committee is in a much better position (and has more appropriate experience) to run a travel grant program.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will push back on the board determining "level of travel grant funding" as I would expect this to be included as part of conference committee budget request, or part of an initiative budget request if you choose to run in collaboration with sponsorship.

Excellent, so would the idea be to update the conference committee mandate<br>
then?<br>
<br>
Or would the conference committee set this up as indicative (for program<br>
visibility and sponsorship)? ... similar to how the website/rebranding is<br>
being taken on as a one-off by the marketing committee.<br>
<br>
That is a bit of a strategic question so it may require thought / planning.<br>
