Atlanta IMC supports proposal B (Including the St. Louis amendments )=20
,   but only as a  temporary and provisional method of fund allocation.

  It is the sense of the group that we need a budget-based  fund=20
allocation  procedure, rather than the line item-expenditure process=20
outlined in B.  We are concerned that if we look at each proposal=20
individually, we will rapidly spend our funds without properly prioritizing=
=20
them.

Atlanta IMC is working on ideas for a draft of a budget based expenditure=20
procedure.

Atlanta IMC suggests as an amendment  that a sunset clause be added to=20
Proposal B;  that proposal B expire on July 31st 2002. This will allow us=20
to fund extremely pressing needs in the short term, give us all a chance to=
=20
create a more balanced budgeting process for the future, and ensure that we=
=20
are not locked in into an unwise spending process.

Proposal B as amended would read:
For making fund allocations we will follow the following decision-making=20
timeline:
=B7       EMERGENCY FUNDING: 2 Days
=B7       REGULAR FUNDING below 500$: 1 week -- with 1 day extensions by=20

Ammendment proposed by St. Louis IMC.
=B7       REGULAR FUNDING above 500$: 2 weeks -- with 2-day extensions by=20
