Internal process on spending

Amounts below $350

ステップ 1

• Propose a budget request. The request should include:
  • person/s involved/conducting the activity/expense
  • the estimated amount of money needed for the activity (detailed expenses list), in US dollars (and/or the currency of reimbursement, if different)
  • timeline
  • justification of why it is needed (allignment with Wikimedia mission/vision & AffCom purposes)
  • clearly defined target goals for the expense/s

ステップ 2

• Request is posted on the AffCom wiki, and AffCom members are notified via mailing list.
• The request is approved if the Chair and Treasurer approve it and no one opposes it within 3 days. If a member voices opposition, the request is put up to a vote for 7 days, and considered approved if a simple majority of members, including the Chair and Treasurer approve it.
• The approved request will then be forwarded to the WMF by the Treasurer. (The WMF will not accept requests from others than the Treasurer; the Treasurer needs to confirm the validity of all requests before the WMF can pay out.)

ステップ 3

• If the request is granted, upon its completion it will be mandatory to:
  • submit within fourteen (14) days a detailed written report of the activity, onwiki and notifying it via the AffCom mailing list, including dates, background for making the request, completed target goals, fulfillment of any other AffCom goals, potential follow ups of this activity, and total amount of money needed for the request. This report must be written having in mind that it may be not only for AffCom purposes, but for WMF and Wikimedia movement members also (ie, could be posted on meta too).
  • submit any other documentation needed by the WMF for legal/tax/reimbursement purposes
  • after this, the Treasurer will remind AffCom members, via their mailing list, of the current budget amount available
