20:25:46 <edgates> Hi
20:26:23 <sesivany> ok, back to the Flock requests. As you may know from the famsco meeting minutes famsco didn't approve the raise from $200 to $300. We just didn't reach consesus because there were objections that we don't necessarily need to spend up the whole amount if it's from a budget that is not intended for that.
20:27:56 <sesivany> but it's our money, so we can decide to do so if we want. I don't really have a strong opinion about it, but if others say that it's ok to raise the limit for Flock fundings to $300 because we didn't have the maximum number of requests, I won't be against it.
20:28:17 <sesivany> any opinions?
20:28:32 <kmf> sesivany, make it so ..
20:29:22 <edgates> I think we should raise it...
20:29:34 <thunderbirdtr> sesivany, ! we didn't get max request for non-speakers ? If It's so I wanna make request for come also If It's possible ?
20:29:38 <cmpahar> My opinion is to raise the funding
20:29:57 <mitzie> I think so too. For example in my case I would like to ask for more money
20:30:38 <sesivany> ok, let's vote about it then.
20:30:49 <kmf> +1 for the increase
20:30:56 <mitzie> +1
20:31:01 <thunderbirdtr> +1
20:31:14 <cmpahar> +1 to increase it
20:31:23 <sesivany> +1
20:31:27 <zoltanh7211> +1 yes
20:31:28 <fabian_a> +1
20:31:49 <Prometheas> +1
20:32:02 <edgates> +1
20:32:28 <sesivany> #agreed We agree to raise the limit per request in the Flock sponsorship program from $200 to $300.
20:33:35 <sesivany> thunderbirdtr: I'm afraid it's a bit late for it. We would have to ask FAmSCo to go through it again etc. etc. because it was FAmSCo who evaluated the tickets.
20:35:20 <sesivany> I would like to ask everyone who is getting funded for Flock to use the additional money only if you need it. Don't use it to buy more expensive flight or accommodation than you planned.
20:36:11 <sesivany> anything else to requests?
20:36:46 <sesivany> ok, moving on to the next topic...
20:36:48 <mitzie> sesivany, I booked the cheapest flight available, and I will still share a room at the dormitories..
20:37:07 <mitzie> no matter the amount I get sponsored
20:37:17 <mitzie> eof
20:37:18 <sesivany> #topic Ambassador's schedule
20:38:48 <sesivany> does anyone know where the ambassador's schedule for F21 is?
