Hi Emma, Just linking in the Aust-NZ QGIS google group. For context, we are discussing the OSGeo Oceania Special Interest Group raised on list previously in link [1], and the draft charter we are discussing is in link [2].
Thinking more about the above suggestion, do we make the organisation tier of the membership a minimum price? That way an organisation that wants to contribute more can? Furthermore, to your point on a "process how to determine where funds go" - as you mentioned we would be keen to hear what people think about that. At the moment that is addressed under the section "Raising a motion and voting" which on reflection isn't that clear! The intent here was to provide a mechanism for the SIG members to access funds, and that could be done by raising a motion and the group voting on it.
