For other kinds of payment, it depends on how many there are. Probably it'd be best to agree on some schedule, like a biweekly report until some shorter period before the event, when we could do it more frequently. There is also the possibility I mentioned that GHM organizers could be given access to log into our CiviCRM instance and see the event registration details, which would show whether payment was received. I have to verify that the access controls for that are reasonable, but it's probable. > 2.

It's sounding like we should probably set GHM up as a formal fiscal sponsor project. We have an agreement for that (we just took on the Seattle GNU/Linux Conference as a fiscal sponsorship project, which as an event has similar needs). -john -- John Sullivan | Executive Director, Free Software Foundation GPG Key: A462 6CBA FF37 6039 D2D7 5544 97BA 9CE7 61A0 963B https://status.fsf.org/johns | https://fsf.org/blogs/RSS Do you use free software?
