WGs’ Finance Availabilities • Indication of financial assistance available to WGs from the DySPAN-SC account, should they require it. Calculated to 23rd June 2012 according to the procedure passed by motion at the 2012 Osaka General Meeting • Available to 1900.1 = $715.59 • Available to 1900.4 = $20,147.40 • Available to 1900.5 = $1,401.35 • Available to 1900.6 = $1,768.48 • Available to 1900.7 = $1,669.70 • Available to DySPAN-SC = $23,730.49 (assuming that DySPAN-SC incurs all losses related to the recent WG meetings—see next slide) 6th IEEE DySPAN-SC General Meeting – Washington, DC, USA, 8-11 Jan 2013
WGs’ Losses in Recent Meetings • 1900.4, 1900.5, 1900.6 and 1900.7 have incurred losses related to recent meetings • Need to decide what to do about these losses • My proposal • 1900.4 has a lot in the bank, and the loss was small, hence, loss should come from 1900.4 available finances • The incurred losses of other WGs would wipe out all of their available finances. Propose that DySPAN-SC therefore steps in and incurs the losses of 1900.5, 1900.6 and 1900.7 • Opinions/approval? • Emphasize that WGs and meeting hosts should coordinate with the Treasurer before holding meetings—Treasurer/leadership have no issue with losses for a good cause, but they should be planned 6th IEEE DySPAN-SC General Meeting – Washington, DC, USA, 8-11 Jan 2013
We Have Too Much Money • Losses, if planned for a good cause and anticipated, are good! • Because, WE HAVE TOO MUCH MONEY! • Something like $20k-$30k is a good buffer against losses at meetings, we are current hovering around $50k. Treasurer believes we should approximately halve what we have in bank • We need to consider how we can spend our money, to the benefit of DySPAN-SC and the 1900 groups. Issue has been touched on in the past, however, we have not spent • What can we do? • Slick promotional campaign? • Deliberately run losses at more meetings, e.g., inviting additional prominent attendees (expenses paid) to express expertise? • Perhaps (paid-for) administrative services? • Other ideas? 6th IEEE DySPAN-SC General Meeting – Washington, DC, USA, 8-11 Jan 2013
