I added some comments I though represented justin's opinion fairly and accurately. He disagrees. Take from that what you will. The comments I attributed to him above may not reflect how he actually feels on the related topics. --[[User:Hef|Hef]] ([[User talk:Hef|talk]]) 17:40, 22 December 2014 (CST)

I feel that projects should have to defend themselves, and not be batched as part of a larger vote. The SEM is just so unrelated from everything else on this proposal.

I fully expect that things like the SEM should factor into an estimated cost of being PS:One, but member projects should not get spending authorization bundled with toilet paper and paper towels. It reeks of being a rider on a larger vote.

To the SEM people, please don't take this personally. I also argued to have a new server hardware budget be an independent vote, something I have a vested interest in. I expect the yearly financial planning to take both projects into account when planning the year, but I want spending authorization to remain in the hands of the membership and each subject to gaining general approval independent from the space's necessities.

:The language in this section was basically lifted from last year's vote, so several sentences were removed until we finalize the area hosts' role in the budget. This section is still very much in progress. --[[User:Sylphiae|Sylphiae]] ([[User talk:Sylphiae|talk]]) 21:58, 21 December 2014 (CST)

:: I'm agreeing with Hef. Area hosts are important, but the bulk of the organization's financial decisions need to be getting made by the membership at large. --[[User:Dbever|Dbever]] ([[User talk:Dbever|talk]]) 22:31, 21 December 2014 (CST)
