Hi Norman! * Norman García Aguilar nor...@riseup.net [2012-06-13 17:32]: Right, what I know organizations does in those case, is to exchange dollars to cordobas in a bank, so you will have a official support of the exchange rate. I think that will be ok for you. Long story short: If they want USD the need to put USD on the invoice. If the invoice is in cordobas they will get cordobas transferred.

It's probably best to have the documents reflect the currency of the transaction.

I don't think the US authorities would care about it being in English, and if SPI needs to prove what it says, SPI can deal with official translations then, or they might even accept Spanish-language documents for that.

Any organization with SPI's US tax status can't generally transfer money or other assets to organizations without that US tax status, except with complicated oversight arrangements OR to pay acceptable documented expenses. Everything you listed would be an acceptable expense. So for SPI as well, you should submit invoices for the expenses which it should pay. As for which organization should be on the invoice, the important thing is that SPI ends up with proof of why they paid the money to the recipient, and if the recipient is an intermediary like ISIC instead of the ultimate vendor, what they used it for. I'm sure DebConf, ISIC, and SPI can achieve that reasonably. :) treasu...@spi-inc.org is the contact email, and our Treasurer (Michael Schultheiss) uses the IRC nicks schultmc and schultmc_ . - Jimmy Kaplowitz ji...@debian.org ___ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team

The payments we need to do are: * Venue: We want to pay a % now. * Food: We need to pay a % * T-shirts: We need to order this ASAP. * Bags: We need to order this ASAP. * Banners: We need to order this ASAP. All the amounts are in debconf-team svn We have all the transfer information ready. We need to know who are the persons in charge and what is the procedure to make the request to SPI/FFIS. Perhaps you could say here how much you are wanting to transfer now? This email is more to maintain transparency, rather than really ask permission, so it would be good to say how much we need, what organization you think it should come from, how much goes to which of these places (so that people who can't see svn can also follow along). Thank you darst, I really don't know what is the procedure so that's why I'm asking, Acording to the budget: * The venue cost is 11,519.34USD, and we would like to pay 50%, which is 5,759.67. * The food cost is 15,675.00 USD, and we would need 50% before DebConf starts, which is 7837.00 * We need money to order bags and shirts, for those we have in our budget 3,600, we will need it all before DebConf. This give you a total of USD 17196.67. In FISS we have at this time EUR11247.69, with a exchange rate of 1.3 is USD14621.99, and we will need the USD3,558.25 we have in SPI at this time. All the money, as you may know, will go to ISIC, our legal representation here in Nicaragua for DebConf12. So, it looks like we will need all the money we have right now.
