5 WGs Finance Availabilities o Indication of financial assistance available to WGs from the DySPAN-SC account, should they require it. Calculated to 23 rd June 2012 according to the procedure passed by motion at the 2012 Osaka General Meeting Available to = $ Available to = $20, Available to = $1, Available to = $1, Available to = $1, Available to DySPAN-SC = $23, (assuming that DySPAN-SC incurs all losses related to the recent WG meetingssee next slide) 6 th IEEE DySPAN-SC General Meeting – Washington, DC, USA, 8-11 Jan 2013

6 WGs Losses in Recent Meetings o , , and have incurred losses related to recent meetings o Need to decide what to do about these losses o My proposal has a lot in the bank, and the loss was small, hence, loss should come from available finances The incurred losses of other WGs would wipe out all of their available finances. Propose that DySPAN-SC therefore steps in and incurs the losses of , and o Opinions/approval? o Emphasize that WGs and meeting hosts should coordinate with the Treasurer before holding meetingsTreasurer/leadership have no issue with losses for a good cause, but they should be planned 6 th IEEE DySPAN-SC General Meeting – Washington, DC, USA, 8-11 Jan 2013

7 We Have Too Much Money o Losses, if planned for a good cause and anticipated, are good! o Because, WE HAVE TOO MUCH MONEY! o Something like $20k-$30k is a good buffer against losses at meetings, we are current hovering around $50k. Treasurer believes we should approximately halve what we have in bank o We need to consider how we can spend our money, to the benefit of DySPAN-SC and the 1900 groups. Issue has been touched on in the past, however, we have not spent o What can we do? Slick promotional campaign? Deliberately run losses at more meetings, e.g., inviting additional prominent attendees (expenses paid) to express expertise? Perhaps (paid-for) administrative services? Other ideas? 6 th IEEE DySPAN-SC General Meeting – Washington, DC, USA, 8-11 Jan 2013
