I presume we need a motion and a vote on this. Time is of the essence, so 
please respond ASAP.

Motion: Samson Goddy has been selected as a Sugar Labs representative to the 
Google Summer of Code mentor summit. He has requested a travel advance to cover 
the costs of his visa application. The advance, including wire fees comes to 
$US 627.05. This motion is to approve the travel advance. (As additional 
background, Google will be covering up to $2200 in travel expenses for two 
representatives to attend the summit. Since our other representative is local 
to the SF area, the bulk of that money would be available to cover Samson's 
travel, so the net impact on SL funds will be negligible.

Unfortunately, We are waiting for someone from Sugar Labs to reply to
approve the expense.  I don't know why they haven't replied.

SUGAR LABS PLC: By my calculation, Samson is asking for this:

  FOR TRAVEL TO GET A VISA, AND FOR THE VISA FEES ITSELF, SAMSON GODDY ASKS
  FOR A CASH ADVANCE OF TRAVEL EXPENSES (TO COME TO GSOC MENTOR SUMMIT
  2017).  The totals are as follows:

  If we use western union, N202,350 = $570 (rate set by WU)

  If we use wire, he's asking for 561+(561*.05)+13+25 = US$627.05 to be wired.
   wire fees

If Sugar Labs PLC replies with approval before Sunday night US/Eastern, we
can likely process a payment by wire on Monday.


We don't typically use Western Union, and it would be substantial effort for
us to do that, so we'd like Sugar to approve the additional wire fees as
it will make payment more rapid for Samson and easier for Conservancy.

Samson, your request was a bit ramble-y, so if I gleaned the wrong totals
above, please correct them.

Samson, in preparation for Sugar Labs PLC hopefully approving this request,
could you let me know if the wire instructions I used for you before are
still correct, and if not, send me new ones?
