2014 LegalXML Member Section Approved Spending Plan

Dear Steering Committee,
Attached please find the final version of the
2014  LegalXML MS Approved Spending Plan
as included in the overall 2014 OASIS Budget which was approved by the  Board of Directors on 6th Dec 2013.  Please be sure to review the document
which lists the amount of funds approved for 2014 from the proposed spending plan  that was submitted by the StC .
I would like to take a moment to review the process for funding requests going  forward in 2014.The attached approved spending plan details funding requests  that were identified and approved by the StC for activities in 2014.
During  the course of the year, It is necessary for the StC to approve each  separate funding request as it arises to ensure that the request  continues to meet the expectations and goals of the Member Section.
1) Funding Request: Each funding request must be approved by the StC and documented. This approval can take place at the monthly StC meetings and documented in the minutes or it can be done by ballot, which ever is appropriate.
2) Authorization: Once the StC has approved the use of Member Section Funds, the StC Chair must forward the request to OASIS management along with appropriate  information so the service can be approved/contracted etc by staff.  Member Sections must not make financial commitments directly with any  service provider.
3) Disbursement of funds: All Invoices and Requests for Reimbursement must be submitted to the StC who  will review the requests (along with any TC review if applicable) and  record approval of the deliverable. The StC Chair will then forward the  approved requests  to OASIS for processing.   Emails should be sent to   .
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance.  Best Regards,
Cathie Mayo
