[board-discuss] written report as requirement for budget?

[Florian Effenberger]

Hello,

given that writing the annual report is a quite tedious task, I am 
thinking about having a new rule, that a fully written, timely report 
(in English) should be a requirement for future budget spendings. Not 
too much text, but a few sentences would be nice.

That would help writing down topics when they occur, plus help those 
writing the annual report to have access to full texts rather than 
having to reinvent the wheel based on some sticky notes and keywords 
taken over the year.

I agree that it is raising the barrier for funds a bit, but then, why 
not share the burden than offloading it to a hand full of people? ;-)

From experience I can tell this worked out quite well with the German 
FrODeV association, which suffered from similar problems.
