SLAA Online will send a delegate to the SLAA Annual Business Meeting in Boston 2-5 Aug 2016.

Motion #2 (from troy, revised): Request for economic support to attend SLAA ABM in Boston 2-5 Aug 2016 - approved

SLAA Online aims to raise and give troy economic aid for attending
SLAA ABM in Boston 2-5 Aug 2016 as SLAA Online Delegate.

Estimated costs:
Hotel overnight 1 Aug before SLAA ABM start: $199 (group discount
rate - less if sharable)
Delegate attendance at SLAA ABM 2-5 Aug: $895 including 3 nights
shared hotel room (early-bird discount rate)
Hotel overnight 5 Aug after SLAA ABM finish: $199 (group discount rate
- less if sharable)
Total cost to SLAA Online: ca $1293 (may be less if more
negotiation/sharing is possible)

Note: Hotel nights 1 Aug and 5 Aug are because of long flight Sweden-
Boston and late conference finish time.
Note: troy aims to raise the additional necessary travel costs Sweden-
Boston himself: ca $1000
Note: Group Conscience approval to economically support troy’s
attendance as delegate at the SLAA ABM is conditional on the
necessary money being raised by the SLAA Online group.

Motivation:
I am interested in the possibility of attending the SLAA ABM in Boston
2-5 Aug 2016 as SLAA Online Delegate if so wished by group
conscience. Attendance poses however a major economic challenge for
me - regarding both travel and attendance costs.
I do believe tho that if HP thru GC wishes me to attend and represent
SLAA Online, there will be a possible solution. A suggested solution is
the above motion to Group Conscience BM.

Note: Approval means approval of both tracked changes and any WRC
recommended changes in comments.

Motivation:
Website revision as directed by Group Conscience, done by Website
Review Committee and clarified by Officer Group.

Note:
Suggest that the motion is voted on at BM without detailed revision
discussion, as this has already been done extensively in the
WRC/Officer Group revision process.
