2. Log of correspondence

  • From: Christopher Neugebauer,
    Subject: Notification of plans/Request for approval of PyCon AU 2021 Team

Due to a miscommunication in the council, we had not responded to the initial plan. Council responded asking for a budget, and that was promptly received and shared to council.

 

Discussion about AV budget. Sae Ra thinks we should go back to Chris with the budget and revisit the AV budget. Joel notes that there are less days of video required, and that probably covers the lower AV cost.

MOTION: Council to accept the proposal, on the proviso that a quote for AV is secured.

Seconded: Neill, For: All. Against: none.

Motion Passed.

ACTION ITEM: Secretary to communicate to christopher. Also request a live copy of the spreadsheet. Explain the av request a little bit, that it might be a little low.
