Jimson, am I correct that the Officers travel is now part of core budget and we don't need to submit a request for their travel, but would have to submit a travel request for a fourth officer's travel? I am working on the Business Summit proposal, as noted in a previous email. I will note that as we even had to pay taxes on our excess revenue, we may want to seriously consider my recommendation that we spend some of our own BC funds in 2019, to ensure we are not being perceived as not bearing our share of the BC engagement. I will be proposing that we make a substantial commitment to the Business Summit along those lines. BC outreach members should be also reviewing Jimson's drafts, and as he and I are traveling very shortly to Geneva, perhaps we can ask for your comments tomorrow/Friday, at latest?
