I just looked at the Google sheet proposed budget.

The proposed $10,000 for website upgrades and maintenance is more than I
expected.

Can you explain further what is meant by maintenance and upgrade? If any
of that refers to where the site runs and the software, that budget
should be part of SAC. FYI GetInteractive did offer such a service at
$1200/yr.

Marketing budget should focus on content, including translation, etc.

Thanks,
