Conference spending policy updates

[Allan Day <aday gnome org>]

Hi everyone,

During this week's regular meeting, the Board of Directors approved
some updates to the Foundation's conference spending policy. The
updated version can be viewed on the wiki:

https://wiki.gnome.org/Foundation/Conferences#Conference_Spending_Policy

The changes are mostly to make the policy clearer and don't
particularly effect the rules.

Some background: the conference spending policy is part of a set of
financial procedures that the board put in place during its hackfest
last October. The goal here is to reduce the amount of work involved
in making decisions, as well as the obvious benefit of providing
clarity to the different groups involved.

I hope that the policy is clear. If it isn't, questions and comments
are very welcome!

Thanks,

Allan
