I think the general policy question should be put on the agenda for the next Board meeting. While I don't think it's good idea to require that the Board review every single adjustment adjustment for an activity for which an expenditure has been authorized by the Board, there could also be scenarios where the Board might prefer to cut our losses in the face of an unanticipated expenditure. There's also a broader question of how we want to manage budgeting in general, e.g., to distinguish between allocating $X amount a year for the Outreach Committee to spend as it sees fits vs. the Board authorizing specific projects.

I should clarify that I'm talking about general policy here; I don't have a present concern that the Outreach Committee is in danger of exceeding its budget.

Regards,

Galen
