Proposed resolution: Waive SPI 5% administrative fee for 2020 associated project conferences

SPI is having a special meeting on 2020-06-22 at 20:00 UTC in #spi on
irc.oftc.net to vote on this proposed resolution:

Resolution 2020-06-08.mcs.1:
2020 Conferences and SPI 5% fee

WHEREAS

1. Software in the Public Interest, Inc. (SPI) is a Debian Trusted
Organization.

2. The annual Debian Conference (Debian) utilizes SPI to collect
some of the conference sponsorship funds.

3. SPI has inconsistently charged its 5% administrative fee for
conference sponsorships.

4. SPI has not yet determined the effect of waiving the 5%
administrative fee for conference sponsorships in perpetuity.

THE SPI BOARD RESOLVES THAT

1. For conferences held by SPI associated projects in 2020 where
SPI collects the conference sponsorship funds, SPI will waive
its 5% administrative fee.

2. SPI will refund the 5% administrative fee to Debian for the 2016-2019
Debian conferences

3. Future administrative fee decisions for conference sponsorships will
be determined at a later date.
