<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I am strongly supportive of reducing
the impact of fossil fuels. And I much prefer trains to planes. I
thank Michael for this proposed resolution.<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">To make a more effective resolution I
would suggest that the resolution in its current form is too
specific. Highly specific resolutions invite people to explore the
flaws in the the parameters and to gloss over the principle. <br>

generally applicable enabling framework requiring the OSMF to
balance the parameters of physical presence, carbon dioxide
generation, cost and travel times in the choice of whether to meet
physically and the choice of transport to the meeting. I would
then leave the complex specifics of balancing multiple parameters
and setting rules for the selection of alternative travel modes to
be worked out by the Board or by a Special Committee. </div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I believe any travel request should
motivate first for physical presence and then for travel mode. We
have recently learned that remote working is effective in many

The annual general meeting on XX December 2020 should vote on the
following resolution:
Sustainable Travel Expenses Resolution
--------------------------------------
The Foundation will not pay travel expenses for travel that includes a
flight if there is an option for that person to travel without flying that

arrival, and
* does not take more than 6 hours longer than the flying option.
