In normal business world, this doesn't work like this :) If you approve the activity plan - then you need to assure the budget for it. So the real discussion shouldn't be the budget and member fees, but the activity plan - the budget needs to follow that. :) Cheers, Jan _______________________________________________ members-discuss mailing list members-discuss@ripe.net https://mailman.ripe.net/ Unsubscribe: https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/options/members-discuss/m.terzioglu%40prebits.de </div></blockquote></div></body></html>
