[Board] Marketing budgets

[Cameron Shorter]

A couple of days ago, I suggested (on the marketing email list), that 
next steps for the marketing committee are to be told how much budget is 
available from the board, so that the marketing committee can then work 
out how to spend it.

At the moment, these is little incentive to be on the marketing 
committee if there is no budget to work it. So if there is budget for 
the marketing committee to allocate, can you please say how much.
