Brian Footes Budget

We have never had a budget before. Brian started with historial data from Ralph and produced the budget for PLoP'96 that is given here. We will try to report on how accurate it was.

Brian Foote 7/2/96

The following gives more projections for our expenses at 3 different levels of attendence. Of the three, the higher ones seem most likely, give the level of interested, and 82 submissions.

A few notes:

The budget contains $4,000 for duplication. We are leaning towards distributing the pre-proceedings piecemeal via ftp. If we do so, this item will drop considerably.

The special category includes credit card processing costs, and well as a fund for unexpected expenses or opportunities.

We've budgeted up to $5,000 for student-author registration and travel assistance. Should turnout somehow manage to be low, we can adjust this downward.

As it stands, this budget will break even at 44 full registrations.
