[nc-budget] FW: Invoices for Glen de Saint Gery and AFNIC services to the DNSO in year 2001, October 2001
Attached you will find copies of two invoices that the DNSO has received for services that the DNSO has had and expects to have provided to during the fourth quarter of 2002 (October 1 -- December 31) by Glen de Saint Gery and by AFNIC. Both of these expenses fall within the Budget Committee's authorization to spend up to $5,000 without further reference to the Names Council and both reflect services for which there is general agreement. Although we obviously do not have a contract in place with either Glen or AFNIC, they have invoiced the DNSO on what I believe are the terms under which they would be compensated under the proposed contracts [I'd like confirmation of this from Erica's Search Subcommittee.] While I have no reason to dispute either of these invoices and, pending comment on the implied terms from the Search Subcommittee, support their prompt payment, we should note that by approving payment now, we will be setting a precedent that we pay both parties at the outset, not the close, of the quarter (NB Glen includes in her invoice the reimbursement of her out-of-pocket travel expenses for her travel to Montevideo, which clearly are both reimbursements and for past services/expenses as well as her services for the October-December period.) Having noted and myself accepted the precedent that we pay before services are fully rendered, I would like to proceed with a vote on the approval of these two expenditures. As in the past, if any Committee member objects to an online vote, then we will take the approval of this expenditure up at our next [teleconference or face-to-face] meeting when we can discuss the matter and vote by majority.
