I am not the treasure, but I do not see any problem. AFAIU, HK$ was added to make the sponsor easier for local/Asian sponsors. Nobody sponsoring only GUADEC will pay in HK$. If GNOME Foundation receives the funds, the currency will be converted and we will receive the funds in US dollars (with a fee). > > 2.

Also, it is easier to deal with spam by email than by fax. If a potential sponsor really requires a fax is required, it can be given upon request. -- Germán Póo-Caamaño http://people.gnome.org/~gpoo/
