Re: [nc-budget] NC meeting Feb 8
Erica, sorry if the options as stated were
unclear.
Option 1: the previous proposal (= 2001 budget
less voluntary shared by 7)
This is what the Budget Committee (BC) proposed. The 2001
budget ($227,600 - Voluntary $120,000 = $107,600) / 7 = $15,371. Surplus from
1999,2000 goes to reserves (Note: The BC assumed the surplus was circa $35,000
but Louis's 24 January 2001 figures imply a surplus of
$27,947).
Option 2: a new proposal (=2001 budget
less voluntary less surplus of subs 1999 and 2000 RECEIVED as at 31
Jan 2001 shared by 7).
This option carries over the actual reserves. It would be $107,600 -
$27,947 / 7 = $11,379
Option 3: a new proposal (=2001 budget
less voluntary less surplus of subs 1999 and 2000 REQUESTED shared by
7).
This option assumes all subs for 1999 and 2000 will be paid. It would be
$107,600 - $68,450 / 7 = $5593.
Giving these options to the NC will help shape the debate and I would
invite the Budget Committee to provide its opinion on each option
(advantages / disadvantages).
Separately, the BC could propose what Erica suggests as a special procedure
(but I know this will be strongly resisted by some NC members). Is this best
coming as a proposal together with a proposal for sanctions that the
BC aired last time ?
(In the meantime as NC Chair I will ask for a formal response from
defaulting constituencies of intent to pay.)
Philip.
