hi Nathan, other WCA-related costs are clearly pertaining to the fact of WCA being organized. People need to travel, meet, etc. to make it happen. Just as Thomas mentions, there needs to be funding for stuff that is not operational yet, but being organized.
Membership fees though are not such a clear thing, as some chapters did include it, some didn't, and it was also visible that the level of those membership fees is not established yet - so practically, these costs were more like conditional reserves. Also, the membership model was discussed as potentially not optimal (for accountability, transparency, etc.), and FDC could be potentially a better way to address it, once WCA establishes, after the Board eligibility approval (just as Jan-Bart points out). best, dariusz On Thu, Nov 15, 2012 at 9:03 PM, Nathan <nawr...@gmail.com> wrote: > It seems like it would've made more sense to exclude WCA costs > entirely, since it doesn't actually exist nor does it have any > meaningful operations or presence.
