[Oceania-Board] motions: let F4G Oceania 2020 access all Good Mojo funds

[Alex Leith]

Hey Adam

I think you're right, that the LOC budget needs to be finished and approved.

We have started receiving ticket sale income (Auckland, just one, $30!) and
this then raises other questions around budgets and about accounting (my
responsibility) that I need to get on top of.

I'm looping Jonah in here explicitly, because time is getting short and we
need to move.

Cheers,
