  I am fully aware that some organisations now and then go through phases
  where any and all expenses are more tightly checked than in the past ;-)
  
  While the Annual Activity Plan issue has already been taken care of,
  there is another aspect which cannot

  	(for the benfit of those who joined the community at a later date
	 or who didn't follow the project in detail)

  be left standing without a comment: your "white elefant" claim,
  implying that the community funds a pet project for a minority:
  
  I have just today approved payment for the TTM Service invoice for
  ACOnet's testbox, amounting to 6K+ EUR.

  We have actually _bought_ the hardware, and we pay an _annual service_
  fee. So it definitely IS a self-sufficient, _subscription based_ service
  offered by the NCC!
