[nc-budget] FW: NC Teleconference invoices
Attached
you will find Maca Jamin’s responses to my questions regarding her recent
invoices to the Names Council. I
intend to ask her to clarify for us exactly what her daily rate is. Regardless, I believe that she has
acted in good faith in response to the Council’s request that she provide the
NC with note-taking services to us and I believe that her charges are not unreasonable. [Whether we can find a more
cost-effective way to obtain these services in the future is a separate matter.] Thus far
only Peter has concurred in authorizing this expense and, as I said, I’m happy
to authorize this expense by e-mail vote only if the members of the Budget
Committee concur. Otherwise, it will
hold until our next meeting. -----Original Message----- Roger, thank you for your message. These invoices are indeed for the work I
have done for the NC meetings ! Methodology is rather simple : it is
based on my day rate comprising services and other charges
(e-mail, telephone costs, accountancy, health & retirement insurance,
professional taxes ) -all that a free lance includes normally in his
rate. Concerning the NC meetings this means :
attending a teleconference (2,5 hours per conference), taking notes, drafting a
summary, including relevant documents, collecting and including the
NC members' comments, plus charges. I hope this answers your questions, and
besides confirms the information given, when I was asked to do this job. Thank you for your help and I
am very much looking forward to a quick response from the DNSO. Best regrds, Maca ----- Original Message -----

NC meetings. If so, please confirm that. If not, please explain
what they are for. Either way, could you explain the methodology that you used to
calculate these expenses? For example, XXXX dollars per hour X
###### hours of time. Thanks, Roger Roger

Roger, I
am forwarding to you, in your capacity of a Budget Committee Chair,
a copy of the invoices already sent to Louis, for the work I have done
since January 2001 (invoice for December has already been settled). If I have
understood well, the NC has now a payment procedure in place which will, I
do hope, enable processing my invoices. too. Thank
you for your help . Kind
regards, Maca
Jamin .
