From the beginning, my interpretation was that the SFC was getting 10% no
matter what for mentor payments... we're choosing to give money to mentors, it's not the same as reimbursement from Google for the summit.
I thought that I voted that the mentor pay the 10% rather than the project (or have it withheld). This way we're not paying out 110% for mentor participation of what Google pays (at least until we get fundraising figured out).
Does that make sense?

Mentor's meeting that are paid by Google. I am guessing that Google doesn't have the concept of "overhead" with regards to this kind of payment so the attendee would be out 10% of their travel costs.
That's a good point. Sounds like we need to define "pass-thru income" for cases like these (and the mentor payments).
Earlier we voted that 10% should not be withheld for the conservancy for mentor payments. As per the email response from Bradley, if we choose to let them take 10% in general (as the votes appear to support), they would want to take 10% from mentor payments as well.
So, we appear to have two votes which contradict each other. I'm not sure what to do here. Anyone have some suggestions?
I guess I viewed it as:
If the mentor chose to take the money for him/herself we wouldn't have the 10% given to the Conservancy taken out (so the mentor got $450).
If the mentor decided to leave the money for Inkscape then 10% would go to the Conservancy.
Does that align with what you're thinking?
