<div>Hello Avni,<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I agree with you it should be clearly defined who in Sugar Labs is responsible for Google's collections.
<br>
<br>
Resources in Sugar Labs are limited and historically we had lost a lot of opportunities because uncollected grant, please research on Trip Advisor's case when lack of clear responsibility for collection let to an unbelievable lack of collection of US$40.000
for internationalization's projects.<br>
<br>
Responsibility isn't clear at this point.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>About the Financial Manager role, it was created by the Board on July's decisions last year, still they never appointed anyone for the role.
<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>In the meanwhile, Adam has continue serving as the <b>representative for Sugar Labs</b> with the Software Freedom Conservancy since last period. Still, this role doesn't account for any financial responsibility according to current
<a href="https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Governance">Governance</a>. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm sorry we still don't have a wiki page that would easily resolve any financial question to the community. It is a tendency I'm hoping to revert by proposing the
<b>Motion 2017-08-10: Sugar Labs Financial Manager to have a monthly compensation.<br>
<br>
</b><br>

</div>
<div>Motion: Samson Goddy has been selected as a Sugar Labs representative to the Google Summer of Code mentor summit. He has requested a travel advance to cover the costs of his visa application. The advance, including wire fees comes to $US 627.05. This motion
is to approve the travel advance. (As additional background, Google will be covering up to $2200 in travel expenses for two representatives to attend the summit. Since our other representative is local to the SF area, the bulk of that money would be available
to cover Samson's travel, so the net impact on SL funds will be negligible.</div>

<br>
Unfortunately, We are waiting for someone from Sugar Labs to reply to<br>
approve the expense. I don't know why they haven't replied.<br>
<br>
SUGAR LABS PLC: By my calculation, Samson is asking for this:<br>
<br>
FOR TRAVEL TO GET A VISA, AND FOR THE VISA FEES ITSELF, SAMSON GODDY ASKS<br>
FOR A CASH ADVANCE OF TRAVEL EXPENSES (TO COME TO GSOC MENTOR SUMMIT<br>
2017). The totals are as follows:<br>
<br>
If we use western union, N202,350 = $570 (rate set by WU)<br>
<br>
If we use wire, he's asking for 561+(561*.05)+13+25 = US$627.05 to be wired.<br>
wire fees<br>
<br>
If Sugar Labs PLC replies with approval before Sunday night US/Eastern, we<br>
can likely process a payment by wire on Monday.<br>
<br>
<br>
We don't typically use Western Union, and it would be substantial effort for<br>
us to do that, so we'd like Sugar to approve the additional wire fees as<br>
it will make payment more rapid for Samson and easier for Conservancy.<br>
<br>
Samson, your request was a bit ramble-y, so if I gleaned the wrong totals<br>
above, please correct them.<br>
<br>
Samson, in preparation for Sugar Labs PLC hopefully approving this request,<br>
could you let me know if the wire instructions I used for you before are<br>
still correct, and if not, send me new ones?<br>
