Apparently we did not actually get all the votes necessary to approve
a motion to pay Devin a $500 stipend for his time taken away from his
Day Job to help with the Turtle Blocks workshops at the
Constructionism Conference. The motion was made and voted on at the
2015-12-07 meeting [1]. There were only three votes cast. (I thought
four had been cast.) There was no objection raised at the time and
Devin did take a week off from work to attend the meetings and run the
workshops. I'd like to reopen this motion with the new board and take
a vote.
Motion: offer Devin U. an honorarium ($500) to compensate him since he
needed to take a week off from work to run two Turtle/Music Blocks
workshops at the Constructionism Conference. The funds would be
allocated from the Trip Advisor grant which are in support of
promoting and advancing Turtle Blocks around the world.
Please respond ASAP, as I feel we need to clarify the situation and
not leave Devin hanging.
Adam, in the future, it would be nice to get a heads up when you find
mistakes and not just catch them by noticing a change to a wiki page.
Also, I need clarity regarding the Trip Advisor grant. I believe that
the oversight board has previously granted me approval to spend grant
money on workshops under the conditions that (1) I inform the
committee of my plans and (2) I don't exceed the budget. Apparently
this is not the understanding of some of you and not the understanding
of the SFC.
Motion: Walter, as PI of the Trip Advisor grant, will inform the SL
oversight board of his plans for workshops that fall under the guise
promotion of Turtle Blocks but otherwise has discretion in organizing
and funding these events, within the budget constraints of grant and
the travel guidelines of the SFC.
Please take action on this ASAP as I am many months without
reimbursement for travel for several workshops.
FWIW, the large proportion of the travel and expenses associated with
the workshops to date has been paid for by third parties. I've been
able to stretch the budget quite far.
thank you for your attention.
regards.
