In our first year of participation in the program, Sugar Labs mentors agreed to have the stipend directed to the Sugar Labs general funds. We have followed the same procedure in subsequent years. This year, however, several mentors asked if they could have access to the stipends (which are allocated per student internship). We discussed this at the meeting and agreed that it would be appropriate to offer these funds as compensation and thanks to the mentors for their time and expertise (there were no objections raised). We need to vote on this however, since the funds are given to the mentoring organization, not the individual mentors.<br></span><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Members of the oversight board, please reply to this email solicitation for a vote on the following motion.
