<p>Dear Board,</p>
<p>thanks for the request for the 2018 budget, we (from CC-side)
will work on it ASAP. <br>
</p>
<p>One thing that might be of interest for you (especiall for
Michael): I have 98% of the final numbers for the 2016 conference.
There is a rest of unsureness, because we have to level our VAT
with the tax declaration. In the moment, based on the number of
our tax accountant it looks quite good, that we will get some
money back.</p>
<p>I will deliver the pre-final numbers before the next board
meeting, then we should think about how to proceed with the
surplus. From FOSSGIS point of view, it would be good to close the
bank account by end of this year, because it causes unneeded extra
work for our treasurer. <br>
</p>
<p>A few month ago I proposed to Michael to pass this account over
to any official OSGeo organisation (global, Europe, e.g.) - but as
I know how difficult it was, to open that account, I fear, that
passing it over to someone else will cost lots of effort. <br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear fellow member,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am reaching you (on bcc) because you are the official
contact of one of the commitees of OSGeo: <a href="http://www.osgeo.org/content/foundation/board_and_officers.html" target="_blank">http://www.osgeo.org/<wbr>content/foundation/board_and_<wbr>officers.html</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are trying to collect the budget requests for each
commitee before the next board meeting (21st of November) to
make sure we can approve them before the start of the year. If
your commitee has any request for budget for 2018, this is the
time and place to do so.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To send it, you can either answer this email or send the
budget directly to the board mailing list. Either way, it will
end up in the board mailing list.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some resources that may help you on this task:<br>
* <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2017" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/<wbr>wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2017</a></div>
<div> * <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2018" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/<wbr>wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2018</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At this moment (next two weeks) it doesn't have to be very
detailed (although it will help us). We just need to know your
plans for next year to make sure we can allocate money for all
of our needs. And if we can't, we need to discuss priorities. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Please,
contact your fellow commitee members to make sure nothing
important is missing on your budget request.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your collaboration,</div>
<div>María.</div>
