Motion to Establish and Implement GSRC Spending Plan

Passed 3/14/21 by vote of acclamation

Proposed by Jeff N; Seconded by Arden

Following are the guidelines to establish and implement the GSRC Spending Plan:

1. The GSRC Treasurer is authorized to prepare an annual Spending Plan in collaboration with the GSRC Chair, Co-Chair, and Webmaster and subcommittee chairs and co-chairs to submit to the GSR Committee for discussion and group conscience vote.
   

2. After the full GSR Committee has voted to approve the Spending Plan, the Treasurer is authorized to implement it by making payments from the GSRC Treasury.
   

3. The annual Spending Plan may be amended by vote of the GSR committee at any time during the year.
   

4. The following items are recommended to be included in the Spending Plan:

1. Website (includes hosting, domain, security).

2. Zoom platform.

3. Free Conference Call Storage Space.

4. Prudent Reserve Fund of 3 months of general expenses, except for the Website expenses, which will be 3 years’ expenses.
   

5. Future expenditures can be brought to the full GSRC for approval as part of the Spending Plan.
   

6. A GSRC General Fund will be held to cover any expenses needed for the seamless operation of GSRC business, except for the Prudent Reserve Fund and any Special Funds the GSRC may vote to create. (For example, a Special GSR Scholarship Fund may be created to help GSRs attend a WSC.)

Background:

At the GSRC meeting on 2/14/21, Jeff accepted Debora’s friendly amendment, and also agreed to work out possible further changes to the motion before the next meeting. This Motion provides more clarity and combines the ideas of all the people who made comments on the Motion and communicated them to Jeff - Debora, Jessica and Arden.

The goal is to pass this motion at our meeting on March 14, 2021, and then to pass an actual Spending Plan at a future meeting, so that we can provide funds for Zoom, our GSRC Website and FreeConferenceCall storage space.

In March 2019, the GSRC passed a motion to create the Treasury, which requires that the full GSRC approve expenditures. “The GSR Committee will establish and maintain a treasury. Funds will be used as determined by the GSR Committee through discussion and group conscience vote. Financial participation is voluntary.”
