RE: [nc-budget] NEXT STEPS IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF DNSO VOLUNTAR Y FUND

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@verisign.com>]

I do not see the necessity of having the NC Chair involved in every decision
by the budget committee.  As long as the budget committee is following the
budget and previous direction given by the NC, this would be unnecessary and
cumbersome.

I also think that there is no problem with a $10,000 cap for the same
reasons as above.

I think that should be mandatory that in any decision of budget NC-Chair
shoul participate.

Ok


And...what do you think about the proposal of Elizabet to also issue a
Credit Card?   It would simplify many payments to do.
