NW region ? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

let me try and set the record straight

the board voted 5 to 3 to not fund the PNW this year

Procedures for this event were not met. This was a private event and not announced or published prior to the date. There were local members who were unaware of the event. Expenditures were not approved prior to the event.
we have some fairly simple procedures to ensure events are announced, funding requested, reviewed, and approved prior to the event happening. this year that didn't happen which led to the vote to not reimburse.
going forward, I am going to publish guidelines to ensure that this doesn't happen again as I want to encourage regional events that give all club members a chance to get together and enjoy the ZR-1 experience and comraderie that the club is intended to support.
but the bottom line is that any event must be announced, available for all members to attend, and costs pre-approved as has happened in past years.
