The primary source of funds for the IEEE 802 LMSC is the registration fees collected from
attendees of IEEE 802 LMSC hosted sessions.
Specific policies regarding the treasury are as follows:
a)
The IEEE 802 LMSC shall open and maintain an IEEE 802 LMSC bank account that will
be administered by the Treasurer.
b)
The IEEE 802 LMSC may open merchant accounts as required for the processing of
credit card charges. Such accounts shall be administered by the Treasurer.
c)
All funds received by the IEEE 802 LMSC shall be promptly deposited in the IEEE 802
LMSC bank account. All funds retained by the IEEE 802 LMSC shall be held in the
IEEE 802 LMSC bank account or, if appropriate, in investments approved by the IEEE.
d)
All IEEE 802 LMSC expenditures require the approval of the IEEE 802 LMSC with the
sole exception that the IEEE 802 LMSC Chair, Vice Chairs, Secretaries, Treasurer, and
each Working Group Chair whose group is not operating with treasury, may be
reimbursed from the IEEE 802 LMSC treasury for up to $200 of appropriate expenses
incurred between IEEE 802 LMSC plenary sessions without specific approval of the
IEEE 802 LMSC.
e)
The Treasurer will provide reports about IEEE 802 LMSC finances to the IEEE 802
LMSC membership at large at IEEE 802 LMSC plenary sessions and to the IEEE 802
LMSC. The Treasurer will provide additional reports and participate in audits as required
by IEEE rules.
f)
The Treasurer shall strive to maintain an operating reserve (uncommitted funds on hand)
sufficient for paying the worst-case expenses of canceling an IEEE 802 LMSC plenary
session.
g)
IEEE 802 LMSC approval of the site for an IEEE 802 LMSC hosted session constitutes
authority for the Treasurer to pay all ordinary expenses for that session and any
extraordinary expenses presented as part of the meeting site proposal.
