Hi :) I thought the plan was to have "local teams", such as the Brazilian, or the French or wherever, all administering their own finances and then giving maybe a flat rate as "Affiliation fees" or some such and then maybe a percentage too.
My personal feeling is that Local teams need to work towards being self-sufficient and it would be great if they can cover their own sundry costs without always having to discuss minutia and waiting for TDF's BoD to approve a sundry expense. I don't see any problem with Local Teams being affiliated to both OOo and LO at the same time now. I guess some funds may need to be restricted to one or the other but that is something for the bookkeeping records and end-of-year financial accounts.
