Expense Submissions
A thread for expenses to be submitted and voted on by the Finance working group.
Literally all I can see is the title of the expense submission and the amount. I cannot see the receipts, nor can I comment (or see other's comments) so it feels like I'm being asked to sign off on stuff with essentially no information about what I'm voting for...which makes the whole act of voting seem pretty pointless, and makes meaningful oversight impossible. Can we do something about this situation?

Approved, with the provision that @Josh Davis will be working on getting us toward a more information-rich template for these expenses.
Two expenses for hosting-related stuff.

Is there a reason we're paying for this month by month, instead of biannually or yearly?
Not sure why I am on this list, but happy to help

Approved, with discussion and details in the comments. https://opencollective.com/socialcoop/expenses/46793
@Matt Noyes Can you link to the policy that backs up this expense, just for our records? It's quite a bit higher than last time we paid it.

New approval:
Done!
https://www.loomio.org/p/JQEUYswo/let-s-join-meet-coop We did not vote on making any additional contribution to Meet.Coop.
Thanks, @Matt Noyes. Can you link the relevant decision? I can't seem to find it.
There's also an optional fee to OC for this kind of payment. Was there any approval to pay that?
Yes. We voted to join and pay that monthly rate for three months, then decide if we want to continue.
Okay, so we're contributing directly to their OpenCollective account? And it's true that the 103 GBP fee is *monthly*?
Social.Coop voted to join Meet.Coop, so we need to make a payment as a multi-user member. Thanks for taking care of this. https://opencollective.com/meet-coop/contribute/multi-user-member-19219/checkout
