Thanks so much for providing all the details here. Also thanks a bunch
for reimbursement (I've received it today).

I have some comments for the record:

I'm very sorry if my mail here caused you (or anyone) any grief. The
point was to bring up a potential issue that I saw: If travel
committee members do not have sufficient time to be able to
communicate in timely manner to folks awaiting for reimbursement. If
that is the case, nobody is to be blamed (since as you said, you're
all volunteers) but rather we should talk about possible solutions.

I do realize now that I failed completely to communicate the actual
intent of the email and perhaps didn't choose the best of the wording,
for which I'm sorry.

I actually did send Kat a paypal request immediately after but was not
informed then that that is not good enough. The last I heard from
travel-committee at this time was that travel-committee will follow-up
with Rosanna. So I kept on waiting..

Actually there were 6 days between these two events. My mail to
foundation-list was on 2016/3/16.

This didn't happen so since I had not received any reply for two
weeks, I got very frustrated.
