the initial funding was an offer by the German association, like we fund 
many other events in Germany, so there was initially no need to discuss 
it with the SC. However, after seeing that we need more money, and 
thinking about it again, I thought it made more sense to take all money 
from the TDF account, out of the reasons outlined.

No. :-) The problem is that FrODeV and TDF are legally the same entity, 
but both have their own topics on the agenda, which makes things a bit 
complicated until TDF is an own entity. :)
