Hi all,

I personally would support this, but I see no reason why consenting on this is urgent enough to skip our traditional consensus process of discuss at one meeting and agree at the following. Perhaps the money needs to be used right away? That isn't stated. Unless there is a reason this proposal cannot wait two weeks to be agreed to, I think it should, like any other proposal.

Greetings omninoms!

Hoping we can pass this tomorrow - it's relatively low-impact wrt accounting and risk.

Proposal is via Bill Budington, a longtime sudo room member and regular event organizer:

This is a request for the Omni Commons to be the fiscal sponsor for the Grassroots Infrastructure Trust (http://site.www.umb.edu/faculty/salzman_g/Grass/Trust/index.htm) grant, given to the North American Anarchist Studies Network for the purpose of funding our annual conference. This conference, held this year in Montreal, QC, Canada, and next year in Atlanta, GA, USA, is to advance the study of topics concerning anarchist infrastructure, revolutionary potential, and non-hierarchical living. It features speakers from across so-called North America and indeed, around the world. The grant was rewarded in the sum of $2000.
