hi
since somody is against changing the rule after the lgm has taken place,
i retract my proposition.
we should stick to the pro-rata rule we had until now.
but i'd like make the process of reimbursement faster: no need to wait a
20 days for sending in the requests.
end of next week should be enough.
i can activate the form for the reimbursement this evening.
ciao

hi!
A practical question regarding this year's LGM:
to whom should we submit our travel expenses?
does anybody want to take the task on him / her?
Hi,
This is my responsibility.
I will put the reimbursement file online later today.
More below on Ale's proposal.
i also have a remark. our policy is to reimburse the travel
expenses at the prorata of the money we could collect.
while in the past we could always reimburse all the people asking
for it, for the first time this year it's likely that we won't be
able to full refund the costs (it all depends on who will be
asking, so we don't know yet for sure; last year we also thought
that the finances were too tight...).
personally, i'd like to make a change in that policy and first
full reimburse the people that had travel costs which are a
multiple of their monthly income (i think that we only have one
such case), then reimburse those who had costs that correpsond to
a big part of their monthly income (probably 2 or 3 such cases)
and finally distribute the rest among the other people asking for
a refund.
we don't need to ask for income details, we should be able to
guess it ourselves for some people and other can tell (and have
already told) us that it's important for them to get refundend.
so:
a/ any volonteer?
Yes, me
b/ is the policy proposed ok?
While I think there is a great heart and a very good intention behind
that proposal, I would be more encline to stick with what has always
been the rule. Otherwise it opens the door to arbitrary calls and
knowing the situation of one or a few people doen’t make the exercice
more fair as some people might be in a difficult situation as well and
won’t tell about it.
Let’s first determine what the needs are. Ony then will we know the
height of the percentage of the reimbursements for each person asking
of it. Meanwhile, money is still coming in, slowly but...
It is always up to anyone to ask for a reimbursement. We’ll give until
end of this month period to fill the form and then we’ll know.
Louis
