Hi Ruth,<span class=""><br>

Are you asking here about the 10% administrative fee that the
Conservancy receives? If so, I wouldn't use the term 'donations' but
refer to it as an administrative fee. Or are you talking about
donations to the Evergreen project?<br>
<br>
Also, related to donations, I just want to report back to the EOB
that I heard back from the Conservancy regarding Outreach donations.
There was an issue with the import script they use with PayPal,
which is why we aren't seeing any donations from June reflected in
the ledger. Bradley Kuhn from the Conservancy said he plans to
address the issue with the import script so that the donations can
be added to the ledger.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">As a new member of the Evergreen
Oversight Board, I am
seeking clarification on the accounting for the project.
After a reviewing the financials before and during
the most recent EOB meeting, some questions arose in my
mind. My first question relates to how donations to
the Conservancy are accounted. There is
no visible line item that indicates this amount. My other
question relates to what seem to be
miscellaneous expenses/incomes not having their own line
item(s) in the
ledger. While the numbers do seem to work
out by assuming miscellaneous expense/income, the actual
financials, without
that assumption, do not add up. So, I
guess my questions both add up to transparency of the
accounting for the
Evergreen project. Right now, at least
from my perspective, there is somewhat of a “black box”
right in the middle of
it and an assumption that “it just works.”
I’m hopeful that you can demystify what’s happening in the
black box."</p>
