<div dir="auto">Adam, I appreciate and admire your leadership here, full support from me.
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">I like that you linked 3, because I have long been very sceptical about the actual on the ground impact and reality of carbon "offsets". Maybe if we assure this is really land managed by a trusted AU/NZ nfp, possibly by traditional owners,
there is some better assurance. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">On top of handling surplus: </div>
<div dir="auto">I never knew how one can offset when using say uni conference funds. Would it be possible to have an option during registration, to say "no swag pls, just offset? Swag is usually not itemised on tickets, hence no headache with reimboursements. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Of course, additional voluntary contributions (offset another participant) could be used too. <br>

<div>Thanks for your in principle support - we’ll get all the numbers lined up and as per the OSGeo Oceania / FOSS4G SotM Oceania principles, await funding outcomes. For anyone listening in, the conference budget is fully committed and relies on surplus to
do anything not already budgeted. I’m extremely positive that it will be ‘budget positive’ and we can contribute to some great earth-critical initiatives.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Perhaps we can use this year’s work to add GHG mitigation as an up front budget item in 2020!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Graeme, thanks for the calculator - I think a good approach is to use a few and take the median. I’m waiting on numbers from the organisations I’ve contacted, and will slowly get the modelling done in preparation for a pitch to the conference LoC / OSGeo
Oceania board.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
</div>
