According to this logic, (a) Can any volunteer request retroactive funds / get reimbursed after giving related workshops? I understand now that Walter and Chris have total control over the Trip Advisor grant, still there are ~US$20,000 on SL accounts that could benefit many volunteers in this way. US$500 is not bad for 5 days!
and (b) Anyone that raises money in the name of SL has the title to decide how/when to spend this funds?
