Finance Work Group Meeting
1 December 2011
Attending: Kathlene, Charles, Casey, John
---
1) Re-working the Finance Working Group proposal presented to the General Assembly on 27 November 2011. The friendly amendments to the proposal were added.
2) Discussion regarding item 11 of the proposal - any working group whose funding request is approved at GA can facilitate the dispersal of their funds by helping to get the minutes published (so that the minutes taker does not feel solely responsible for the timeliness of dispersal). In addition, the FWG added the proviso that GA minutes must also be printed and sent to the encampment.
3) A 13th item was added to the proposal in order to help facilitate working group transparency with regard to expenditures.
4) A discussion of targeted fund raising was held. The FWG discussed targeted fund raising and whether it should be reported to the General Assembly when a working group is requesting money from the general fund while, at the same time, raising money for a different project.
5) When a working group does targeted fund raising, the FWG will request a copy of the record of that fund raising (i.e.: monies raised and expenses to date) in order to continue facilitating financial transparency.
6) Discussion of a FWG statement of purpose was discussed.

The next FWG meeting will be on Friday, 9 December 2011, at 6pm at Break Espresso
