<div dir="ltr">Hello :-)<div>There is a Donate button on the Welcome page of the website. It leads to the Paypal account for IGC. </div><div>Earlier this year we received a generous donation from a member who I have thanked. </div>
<div>The hosting bill is 13.47 GB pounds every three months.</div><div>This seems to be the IGC's entire financial responsibility.</div><div>Suresh's suggestion is certainly the most practical, but it seems an unfair burden to place on the co-ordinators who anyway might not, for several reasons, be able to make the payments.</div>
<div>This is a long way from discussing policy, but it does need to be sorted out with some urgency. It seems to me that the Donate button should be de-activated until we know what we are doing.</div><div>Over to you - this is an area which needs input and decisions from the group as a whole.</div>

But do you have an idea of how much is needed?<br>
<br>
If donations made to the coordinators (or others, Jeremy?) in person, what currency? Would be good to know before we met, or all you'll get from me is Turkish Lira :-)<br>
