I vote a.
I kinda like the idea of making someone responsible. Keep good records in case there's any conflict.

Committee members, your response is required:
a) Approve this proposal. b) Disapprove this proposal. c) Change this proposal.
Background:
We have been sending people to LGM for many years. It is the premier open-source conference for graphical design software. This year's version takes place in Nuremberg from April 22nd through 25th. It's a great place to network with other open-source graphics software people.

This proposal is to provide support for members of the Inkscape community to attend this event. In the past we have held Inkscape Hackfests/Summits before or after the event. I did a quick survey and there wasn't enough interest to hold a Summit this time. (It was rather late to organize such an event.)
Proposal:
- Allocate funds of up to $1250 per person to cover travel expenses
to attend LGM (transportation, accommodations, meals, misc. expenses). (This is half of what we've allocated in the past for attending a combined Inkscape Summit and LGM.)
- The total reimbursement for this event will be limited to $7500 on
a first come, first serve basis. Attendees must contact Tavmjong in advance with an estimate of their expenses. Attendees must make their own travel and accommodation arrangements, subject to SFC rules.
- Authorize Tavmjong to approve applications for travel support.
