Dear Avri<div><br></div><div>When you develop this as a CAC proposal, please study the following aspects- with greater accuracy than my rapid observations - as below:<br><br>Part IX of the current year's returns (990) shows an expenditure of 1.88+13.48+1.73+0.81+0.95+1.31 +4.00 totalling $ 24.16 million (items 5,7, 8,9, 10,13&17 not including any staff related expend expenditure categorized within the rest of the items) among 93 Staff members and 12 Trustees (whose expenditure are significantly less than proportionate within this sub-category). Against this, even with a rigid criteria, if 50 Chapters with an average membership of 1000, get an allocation of an initial $1000 hoping up to $10,000, it is still too disproportionately skewed away from Chapters, in terms of resources available for Chapters to be effective.</div><div><br></div><div>Sivasubramanian M </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> April 10, 2016, avri doria <<a href="javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','avri@acm.org');" target="_blank">avri@acm.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>

But I did so individually as this is something the AC has not discussed.<br>
And was very specific in saying that.<br>
<br>
If we want it to become an AC proposal, we need to do more work on it.<br>
