<p>Adam, can you please loop me in on conversations around
developing a TGP policy. This is something I'd like to help OSGeo

<div dir="ltr">Hi all, I want to raise a motion to
increase our contribution to our Travel Grant Program.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Currently, we have committed 5 conference &
workshop registrations (est cash cost $1500) plus
$1500 cash, for a total of $3000. This is partly
funded by community & sponsor contributions to the
Good Mojo Fund, and partly out of our surplus.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You'll recall, we're seeking $3000 in additional
funding from OSGeo. With their contribution, we would
be in a position to assist approx. 5 attendees through
the TGP. Unfortunately, it's uncertain whether we'll
get this additional funding. The OSGeo committee
responsible for their TGP wishes to develop a policy
before deciding on disbursing any funds, and
effectively, we need to know before our application
deadline of 21 Sep, so that we know how to proceed. It
may be difficult for them to make a decision on this
in the time frame we require.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We're doing what we can - Adam is directly involved
with OSGeo on this policy, and we've asked if they can
expedite the process, or perhaps make an exception in
our case while they consider their policy development.
Fingers crossed.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, the motion is this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>We contribute an additional $3000 to our Travel
Grant Program, which will enable us to support 5
attendees. In the event that OSGeo decides to make
an additional contribution of $3000, as we've
requested, we additionally contribute 3 full
registrations (conference & workshop), so that
we can support 8 attendees in total.</b></div>
