Hi, Dave
I think both motions need further explanation.
In the case of the GSOC stipend, I assume the total amount is
transferred to SugarLabs. That amount is based on the number of slots
(6) and not on
the number of mentors. The amount is fixed per slot ($500). So SFC would
take $250 and SugarLabs would take $125. This would result in a balance
of $2625 or $262.50 per each of the ten mentors. Each mentor could
individually decide to request the $262.50 or leave it in the General Fund.
In the case of the membership donation. It appears to be a donation
since there is no penalty. I think it should be a donation request with
the amounts
as an 'expectation'. I don't understand the 'rewards' for larger
donations. What is a release codename?
More importantly, I think the first step is to provide a simple way for
members or non-members to donate to support Sugar Labs. Is this paypal,
credit card or .... Is this something that SFC must provide or can
SugarLabs do this on its own?

As Adam has pointed out, this motion has failed to pass. It
seems that there is some support of the idea of offering at
least a portion of the GSoC stipend to mentors who
need/request the funds, but the form of the current motion,
putting the authority into the hands of the mentors themselves
does not have adequate support. Perhaps someone can craft a
motion that would be better received by the oversight board.
I submit the following motion draft for comments, based on
Sebastian's text, which I believe expresses Tony's sentiment, and
pays a courtesy to Lionel's sentiment. With the existing votes for
the previous motion plus Tony's swing vote, the motion can pass.

I invite anyone else to comment on my 2 planned motions, and I'll
submit them at the end of the week :)
