b. No
There are questions I have about an on going committment. A one year credit will doom us to pay Digital Ocean in the future, a $500 credit /per year/ would be better.
I'd rather no invest the sys-admin time into a platform that we don't know what will happen in a year's time.

Background:
In 2017, the Inkscape Board [solicited sponsorship offers][1] for web hosting. We [received an offer][2] from DigitalOcean that provides a credit for $500 in service on their virtual hosting platform. It doesn't match all the requirements we had called for, but it may be able to address near term service needs while we continue our search.
Registration with DigitalOcean requires entry of financial information so will need to be performed by the Software Freedom Conservancy staff for us. This vote authorizes them to do so.
