* '''Majda''': | * '''Majda''': First of all, I agree this is an important and valid concern. It was rightfully one of the most debated topics during Remo camp. Altough it is impossible to expect us to completely eliminate bureacracy, there are definitely ways we can improve the current procedures, some suggestions would be: | ||
** return to mentor-only review for small budgets. Adding yet another layer (a council member) only slows the procedure, and isn't need in most cases, in my opinion. We should trust our mentors and their best judgment here, especially that the stakes aren't so high | |||
** define a budget amount range for which we don't need ALL council members approval, only a majority. This is to address the issue of having to wait for every council member to cast a vote, which can often take a lot of time knowing the various availabilities/duties... | |||
** maybe have more than one person to take care of the budget requests. I mean, Konstantina is doing a incredible and wonderful job, I just have the feeling our process is too centralized on one individual. Having a second person would take off some steam and avoid overload | |||
** encourage mentors to be as reactive as possible to budget/swag request, and encourage cooperation from the rep's side | |||
