WGs’ Finance Availabilities

o Indication of financial assistance available to WGs from the DySPAN-SC account, should they require it. Calculated to 23rd June 2012 according to the procedure passed by motion at the 2012 Osaka General Meeting Available to 1900.1

= $715.59 Available to 1900.4

= $20,147.40 Available to 1900.5

= $1,401.35 Available to 1900.6

= $1,768.48 Available to 1900.7

= $1,669.70 Available to DySPAN-SC

= $23,730.49 (assuming that DySPAN-SC incurs all losses related to the recent WG meetings—see next slide)

WGs’ Losses in Recent Meetings

o 1900.4, 1900.5, 1900.6 and 1900.7 have incurred losses related to recent meetings

o Need to decide what to do about these losseso My proposal

1900.4 has a lot in the bank, and the loss was small, hence, loss should come from 1900.4 available finances

The incurred losses of other WGs would wipe out all of their available finances. Propose that DySPAN-SC therefore steps in and incurs the losses of 1900.5, 1900.6 and 1900.7

o Opinions/approval?o Emphasize that WGs and meeting hosts should coordinate with

the Treasurer before holding meetings—Treasurer/leadership have no issue with losses for a good cause, but they should be planned

We Have Too Much Money

o Losses, if planned for a good cause and anticipated, are good!o Because, WE HAVE TOO MUCH MONEY!o Something like $20k-$30k is a good buffer against losses at

meetings, we are current hovering around $50k. Treasurer believes we should approximately halve what we have in bank

o We need to consider how we can spend our money, to the benefit of DySPAN-SC and the 1900 groups. Issue has been touched on in the past, however, we have not spent

o What can we do? Slick promotional campaign? Deliberately run losses at more meetings, e.g., inviting additional

prominent attendees (expenses paid) to express expertise? Perhaps (paid-for) administrative services? Other ideas?
