[steering-discuss] Reimbursement for LinuxCon Europe

I have already asked for reimbursement of expenses that I will incur for
representing TDF at LinuxCon Europe in Prague, but as I have found a
better combination I am reposting the request with the updated budget:

EasyJet flight: 90 euro
Hotel Bella in Prague: 136 euro
Parking and transfers: 54 euro
TOTAL: 280 euro

I therefore ask other Steering Committee members to approve this
expense, as I would like to apply for reimbursement @ SPI as soon as
possible.

Thanks, Italo

Hello,

I therefore ask other Steering Committee members to approve this
expense, as I would like to apply for reimbursement @ SPI as soon as
possible.

Which, however, brings me to two points:
1. Some account balance at SPI would be nice, so we know what we can spend
2. Should we come up with some sort of travel refund policy, at least a preliminary one?

Yes, but a budget for the spending should be in place. That is fundamental to understand the limits of the spendings and will be the ultimate criteria for refusing a demand.

2. Should we come up with some sort of travel refund policy, at least a preliminary one?

Absolutely. Usual best practices apply. My take:

1) always through expenses report (no valid proof of purchase, no refund),
2) limited spending per day on food, accomodation and local transportation.
3) approval in advance by the SC/ BoD simple majority.
4) other fees under request (e.g. tickets, registrations fees for business events, etc...)
