I'll move my vote from -0 to 0, based on Nick, Jo and Anne's points,
and in hope that this is not taken as a precedence.<br>
<br>
Jo, do you want to add your vote?<br>

<div>I assume that the business cards and fliers can't be
re-used, or is it just that you paid for them out of your own
money and would like to recoup this? I'm inclined to agree
with Cameron that this sort of expenditure should be agreed in
advance because otherwise OSGeo could end up with all sorts of
requests for refunds and run out of money. However, 280 Euros
is a lot of money to be out of pocket.</div>

<div>Marketing people- could we collectively agree to refund
this but as a one-off, and in future all payments must be
agreed in advance in order to get a refund?</div>

Hi Anne,<br>
<br>
As mentioned off list,<br>
<br>
While what you are asking for is in line with OSGeo goals,
I feel it irresponsible for the OSGeo Marketing Committee
to approve funding, unless you had received approval
before purchasing?<br>
<br>
My reasons are:<br>
* OSGeo, and by extension the marketing committee are
responsible for managing a budget against a set of
guidelines.<br>
<br>
* Before money is spent, approval should be sought.
Approval should be granted based on: 1. Are costs in
mandate. 2. Are their available funds.<br>
<br>
* Our original Marketing spending guidelines [1] have been
on reimbursing "Non-Consumable" items. This request is for
"Consumable items". Ie, this request is out of mandate.
There has since been suggestions to move to also cover
Consumables, but no one has followed through to update the
wiki or get it approved.<br>
<br>
* Providing retrospective approval would set a precedent
which I think would potentially put OSGeo at financial
risk if others were to follow this example.<br>
<br>
As such, I'm voting -0 for covering these expenses, but I
am ok with being out-voted on this one. <br>
<br>
I note that the marketing committee is almost completely
inactive. If you don't get at least 3 votes, I suggest
asking the board to weigh in (as Jeff as suggested).<br>
<br>
Sorry for the negative response.<br>
<br>
One thing that would really help is to have someone
volunteer to revitalise the Marketing committee processes,
possibly rewriting from a fresh start.<br>
<br>
<br>
Warm regards, Cameron<br>

<pre>Hello all,
for last year's FOSDEM in Brussels I ordered OSGeo flyers
and business cards from a local print shop. All details are
listed in the wiki page:
<a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSDEM2014" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSDEM2014</a>
I would like to ask for refund for these items (it sums up to 280
euros). I can provide off-list the receipt in German, with translation.
I am available for any clarification.
Thanks and kind regards,
Anne
