Re: [Debconf-team] DC16 Decision Meeting - Second take

Hi Stefano,

Thanks for the succinct update report!

I got a question on this; it might have been addressed already, but
I'm only noticing it now:

> * Fleshed out the exchange control laws section.

This section now says that basically all attendees can enter without
worrying about their personal money. However, what would it mean to
DebConf's operative money? We work with quite a high budget, and we
receive (and spend) it throughout many months. Also, that transfers
over R1m have to pay 10% tax. What would this mean for our finances?
10% tax on all money we use for paying expenses in South Africa?
(i.e. most of our budget, aside from travel sponsorship)

Thanks!


PS- Just as Tássia asked: Montreal team, can you provide a similar
update summary?
