decide on outstanding votes !!
- pyladies auction entry fee
was funded by PSF, but now they would like us to fund it - $18,000 . if we charged $5 it wouldn't be enough.
what should we increase the fee to ? If we raise it too high some people wouldn't be able to attend, but if it's too low it would cost us
we didn't make our decision public about decision to skip election last year
blockers, we might be able to get sponsors to help with costs
how do we feel about a two tier cost ??

pycon, how should contribute ?????
- chapter budgeting system
should we give out money before we have a better fundraising model ? How can we generate money outside of pyladies auction at pycon
we could have a temp budget to give out while we're figuring out our fundraising stream
could we have chapters request funds, instead of giving money (with a limit)?

How do we share funds to pyladies chapters
by event type?
by expense type?
by location and chapter ?
there may be circumstances that we cant predict, there are too many nuances. we could have a rough number like $40k i.e they divide it up ?
should it be a guideline to manage expectations of an ask ? be clear to everyone that we have a process.
Let's inform all chapters that they can request for grants (we can put it on the website)
