I have no idea or reference of any case.

Did you disagree with my edits? > Yes, functionality shall not be sacrificed in the name of Cosmetology :D Remember our goal is to *make the procedure friendly, easy to understand, translate and follow.* A well tough procedure has few words and it is defined by it's Action points. There are 3 clear actions being proposed for the Cash advance - Travel Policy exemption procedure: Action 1: member/contributor requests a Cash advance - Travel Policy exemption Action 2: Sugar Labs Oversight Board members take an approve/disapprove decision Action 3: In case of an approved decision, Sugar Labs representative or his/her delegate (e.g. Sugar Labs Financial Manager) will communicate to SFC the decision and make in Sugar Labs behalf the correspondent Cash Advance - Travel Policy exemption request Please add to the discussion (here and/or the wiki) specific requirements for words adding, removal, etc in each specific Action <https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Procedures>. -- Laura V. * I&D SomosAZUCAR.Org* “Solo la tecnología libre nos hará libres.” ~ L.
