Budget

Straw Man proposal from John O'Hara on budget
With cash we could achieve greater more immediate returns on effort
No mandatory membership fee

What would money be spent on

• website
• hosting of confluence / jira / website
• events

Discussion of levels of contribution and comparable organisations

PD: May be best to present as membership fee as this is easier to go through large organisations
CT: Need to align with peoples budget cycles
JOH: AMQP Group will not exist forever - expect to merge into existing standards organisation

JOH: will need more than one official officer
know how to operate it out of UK
others could be able to operate out of US
USD may make more sense than GBP

Decision in three weeks hopefully

AOB

Review of the discussions over 1-0 spec
explanation that we are ensuring that all User SIG requirements for 1-0 are met, JMS will be supported
Expectation that other areas (Global addressing, message format, management, etc.) will have strong proposals by the time 1-0 is release
Agreement from Microsoft that this approach is sensible.
