I'd agree with this. It is both too detailed and not detailed enough.

I didn't provide them at the meeting largely because I don't have them 
in my head. We can certainly provide them to you. Jochem usually, when 
doing his budget presentation, indicates roughly how the various budget 
lines are made up and there is usually a full and detailed budget in the 
back of the Annual report. We'll make sure we get them to you, as I 
indicated we would.

However I think it would be useful to see how much of the overall budget is assigned to this project, and all other activities currently underway.  The fact no costs / budgets have been included in the activity plan over the last few years is an innocent oversight I'm sure, but it would be useful to correct this now as you have already stated, and it would be helpful to see the costs for this year both actual and budgeted ...
However, as I indicated, a very full budget is included in the Annual 
report, a copy of which is sent to every member (and which is available 
online). It *doesn't* break down to individual activities, but we have 
this information and will get it to you.

Annual reports all the way back to 1998 are available at
