[Board] Travel Expenses

[Cameron Shorter]

Ok,
I've taken a first cut at guidelines for speaker expenses:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Advocate#Expenses

Feedback welcome.


  Expenses

This section on Expenses is currently in Draft, awaiting review.

This OSGeo Advocate list has been designed to help event organisors 
source local authoritative speakers. Events wishing to include 
international keynote speakers should expect to cover expenses of these 
speakers. Note that OSGeo is a volunteer driven organisation without 
paid positions of authority and OSGeo doesn't budget to cover travel 
expenses.

When budgeting for keynote speakers expect to cover the following expenses:

  * Travel
  * Accommodation
  * Per diem costs covering food and incidentals
  * Daily rate, typically $US 1000 per day. (Note that OSGeo volunteer
    speakers usually have a full time job and will be loosing wages for
    the duration of the event)

For a rough guide of travel costs refer to the US Department of State 
costs <http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp>

Individual speakers may waive any of these costs if attracted to the 
event for other reasons, and final costs are to be negotiated with the 
selected speaker.
