[NA-Discuss] Summary Minutes NARALO Teleconference 09 June

Wed Jun 11 12:47:41 EDT 2008

Dear Danny:

I understand that there are pretty much always modifications to the budget before it is passed based upon consultations with the community. Certainly because of the Summit question the At-Large budget is very much an open question.

Nick,

If the Board in Paris approves the overall budget, what will be the At-Large departmental budget for the fiscal year?

regards,
Danny
