I should just add here that the point where a local organisation is most definitely helpful is (as you have already used it) for signing local agreements with government/hotels/etc. Even if no sponsorship money came directly to DIVA, it would still be useful for it to be the official entity for local arrangements, and for money to be transferred into it to pay costs as necessary. -- Moray _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
