Alternatively, we should trust and empower the budgeting/bursaries
people to establish their own risk limit and leave it up to them
whether to gather a wider set of opinions.

In my opinion, if you applied for travel sponsorship and then
changed your plans without a good explanation, then this should have
been the last time we sponsored that person for a while. Making sure
people know this ahead of time (assuming we agree) should already go
a long way towards eliminating the need for over-committing. I'd
much rather solve things that way and spend more time on fundraising
so that we can have a larger travel budget.
