Yes, I've seen the mentions in the FAQs. That doesn't constitute a reserve
policy and is very vague.
In the absence of a reserve policy, we must assume your policy is to have
the planned level of reserves. If you underspend and put the extra in
reserves, that means you have too much in reserves.
Thomas, I agree with you that it would make sense to have a more
thoroughly defined reserve policy, but I also caution against
micromanaging the reserve. I believe that I said in my previous
email directed to Erik that I'm wondering what the downside is
of having some underspend for payroll due

Thanks for sharing the report. Once again, there is a significant

planned, and says We attribute this to the fact that the market for
