Cuts in FY95 Budget -- Dave Emery

Given that TRI-Ada 94 had a surplus of only $60K when $150K was projected, how much do we cut this year? What is our strategy for cuts if future cuts are needed (e.g., if the surplus is different than current projections)?

Ideas:

Process: Zero everything not yet spent and then go back and add money back in.

Dave's four options:	Who agrees:

Zero all budget

fund WGs (10K)

fund New Initiatives (10K) Hal, Dave, Charlene, Mark, Rudolf, Brad

fund WG & New Init (20K) Ed

Motion: Zero out all budget and fun new initiatives (IALC and booth) to $10K only. (6-1)

Motion: Within the remainder of this fiscal year, we will initiate at least one new fund raising activity (Passed unanimously)

Motion: Limit the number of issues of Ada Letters to 6 per year (three left in FY 95) special issues to replace regular issues. (Defeated 3-4)

Motion: publish only 3 issues in remainder of FY 95, possibly a mixture special and regular issues. (Passed unanimously)
