<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF">Hi ConfComm,<br>
<br>
as you've seen in the past days, Michael from BLOC started a discussion how to proceed with the travel grants, Jody was involved for the board and the board accepted to take over the whole travel grant responsibility to OSGeo. This means, we now can (and should)
setup a formal and unique procedure for ALL FOSS4G events for travel granting. In my eyes, this is a big step forward (my thanks to Michael to start this discussion again ;-)).
<br>
<br>
My suggestion is, to give our ConfComm the mandate to have the responsibility for approving event applications.<br>
<br>
So my call for a vote is: "Should ConfComm take over responsibility for approving event applications" ?<br>
<br>
Please vote until 10.05.2017 24h CET<br>
<br>
Till<br>

<div>Excellent, so would the idea be to update the conference committee mandate then?<br>
<br>
Or would the conference committee set this up as indicative (for program visibility and sponsorship)? ... similar to how the website/rebranding is being taken on as a one-off by the marketing committee.<br>
<br>
That is a bit of a strategic question so it may require thought / planning.</div>

One open question is who should take the responsibility for approving event applications. Should the board handle it like code sprints, is the conference committee interested in the responsibility, do we want a new committee with yourself as chair? Etc ...<br>
<br>
If there is a dedicated group then it would open up a few alternate approaches to the one proposed.

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">As you all can see we've been very busy assembling our program (<a href="http://2017.foss4g.org/accepted-presentations/" target="_blank">225 accepted talks</a>, out of 423 submitted) and rounding
out the sponsorship for the conference (<a href="http://2017.foss4g.org/sponsor/" target="_blank">>$200k of commitments</a>). And now, with 2 weeks to go before the Early Bird expires, registration is starting to pickup with ~200 registrations processed.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">And, with registration on people's minds we have started to get the inevitable requests for financial support (e.g., and accepted speaker who's company cannot pay; graduate students looking for
support; etc.) and we expect those requests to continue. The Boston LOC (BLOC) would dearly like to have a "Travel Grant Program", but as was pointed out in earlier threads (I believe by both Steven Feldman and Jody Garnett) it is difficult for the host LOC
to run such a program. For instance:</div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<ol>
<li><font face="tahoma,

</li><li><font face="tahoma,
sans-serif">Administering such a program takes time, and our primary focus is on producing the conference and the workshops.</font>
</li><li><font face="tahoma,
sans-serif">Decisions on criteria for choosing recipients and the amount of individual grants can be delicate and the criteria/objectives may differ between the BLOC and OSGeo</font>
</li></ol>
<div><font face="tahoma,
sans-serif">As such,<b> the BLOC would like to make a formal request that OSGeo establish and administer a travel grant program for the Boston 2017 event</b>. We would gladly
collaborate and help advertise the program (e.g., on our website and through referrals), but we would concur that this program should be established and funded by OSGeo. We have high hopes that the proceeds from Boston will reimburse OSGeo's investment in
subsidizing attendance from certain communities. And, we too will be looking to offer other opportunities for financial support through our volunteer program, and potentially a "need-based" registration discount (if our Early Bird registrations give us increased
confidence in our financial success).</font></div>
