      I think yes.  We rely on them enough that it seems appropriate.

I am leaning Yes too. I had not yet replied because I was waiting for
the "earmarked" too. Does this include all donations? Hmm perhaps I
should try to read-up on all Inkscape's income sources...

A majority vote of the current board members is required for this

Proposed:
10% of Inkscape's earmarked revenue is to be paid to the Software
Freedom Conservancy.  This will help them continue to provide services
to open source projects.
[ ]  a.  Yes, allow the 10% payment to the Conservancy

Background:
The proposal is from Bradley M. Kuhn, Executive Director of the
Conservancy, who wrote to us on this list a couple weeks ago:

      Tavmjong, Inkscape has received fiscal sponsorship services
      from Conservancy at no charge since 2006.  Back when
      Conservancy was founded, I was an SFLC employee and SFLC was
      subsidizing my time -- effectively donating staff time to
      Conservancy.  This ceased in early 2008, and I served as a
      volunteer for Conservancy on nights/weekends until 2011, when

I

      became a full-time employee -- which was the only way to keep
      it going with the services it promises (the other option

would

      have been to shut down Conservancy).  Since then, to maintain
      legal services as part of the service plan once SFLC shrunk
      further, we hired Tony as well.  We get a lot done with a

staff

      of two, but obviously we need financial resources to be able

to

      provide these services.

      Conservancy's Board of Directors voted about a year ago that
      all member projects should be required to give 10% of their
      earmarked revenue to support Conservancy to continue to

provide

...
      services.  This is a standard way for a fiscal sponsor to
      operate, and we were lucky before that we weren't required to
      do this, and I'd been waiting to bother Inkscape with this
      since you are one of our older members. (We haven't taken a

new

      member for anything other than 10% in a few years, BTW).  I
      hope a 10% arrangement as we use with other projects now will
      be acceptable to you, and I and Tony are happy to discuss
      further this issue.
