Nobody's in thrall to a higher power here, and if the SFC requires every single expenditure to be voted, there is a reason, and perhaps the reason isn't valid. With resources limited as they are, we need to be vigilant about bureaucracy, that's all. Speaking of which, the SLOBs may wish to consider a motion numbering system such as is used by legislatures. It could simplify referencing previous decisions, in particular providing a search engine handle which could be used to reconcile authorized expenditures. And motions could be more easily listed for governance history. Sean
