It will be in an email from me to the IAEP list; however, I ended up not proposing this formally, and instead posting the following 3 formal motions (which I have been recording in https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/Decisions as Adam asked of me.) FAILED MOTION 2016-25 To request a membership donation from each currently active Sugar Labs Member to be allocated to the General Fund for the calendar year of 2016, and a public statement about how they use Sugar and why they are involved in Sugar Labs to post on the website; there is no penalty for not paying a membership or not providing a statement; by default members who donate will be kept private, and requested to opt-in to be recognised. The donation requested will be $12 USD from members who self-identify as low-income (such as students); $36 USD from general members; $120 from members who can opt-in to be placed prominently on the website; and $600 from members who can (privately if they wish) submit a release codename, subject to SLOB approval. (not seconded) FAILED MOTION 2016-26 To request donations from Sugar Labs Members, to be allocated to the General Fund through the SFC. The annual donation requested will be $12 USD from members who self-identify as low-income (such as students); $36, $120, or $600 USD from general members. (not seconded) PENDING MOTION 2016-37 to undertake a fund raising drive. Arrangements will be made to enable on-line contributions by PayPal, debit or credit card or other means. Once the means to make contributions is in place, the Financial Manager will initiate and lead the drive. The Sugar Labs web site will show progress in donations toward the goal. The last one is open for voting by SLOBs until this Saturday (11th) but so far has not been seconded. _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
