Adrian, > I have absolutely no doubt of the integrity of the IAOC and its chair, but this > rule is somewhat vague and open to interpretation. It is like using the word > "appropriate" in a protocol spec! Yes, true, but this is really a rare exception. In the 1.5 years that I've been on the IAOC, I don't remember a case where expenses were made and reimbursed. That makes it hard to be more precise here. > Could you look at qualifying this in some way to scope the exceptional > circumstances.

If the IAOC members wanted to claim expenses that should not be reimbursed, this rule would be easy to circumvent. If this is a concern, then I'd suggest that the IAOC simply publishes what expenses were paid.
