RE: FW: +++ BALLOT: Interim Meeting Agreement
Geoff, I think you are misunderstanding the proposal. All of the expenses
for the Orlando meeting are being paid by the meeting fees collected from
the attendees (just as we do at a plenary meeting). The plan is to tailor the
expenses at the meeting to come out with net balance of $0. Thus there
will be no impact on IEEE 802 treasury. The only role being played by
IEEE 802 is to serve as the hosting body to make the meeting arrangements
and ensure that the Hotel agreement conforms to our stand policies. The
meeting fees collected from the attendees will cover all of the actual expenses.
It is possible to track and adjust expenses during the meeting so that they
exactly match the funds collected. It is NOT the case that the 802 Treasury
is subsidizing one meeting and not the other.
Thanx, Buzz
