From 40be671a05712e99e9e2ae3ac36e3b9261ffa0a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Bradley M. Kuhn" Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2012 14:34:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Note that conference-provided food may impact per diem rate. Based on advice from Conservancy's Treasurer, Conservancy will not require that conference-provided food be formally accounted for in per diem reports. However, travelers should consider these issues when submitting, and be honest about what they actually spent on food, rather than seeking the maximum per diem allowed. --- Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.txt | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.txt b/Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.txt index 1960655..4a355ca 100644 --- a/Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.txt +++ b/Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.txt @@ -230,9 +230,13 @@ in London, England (with a layover in New York City) has a maximum per diem of the M&IE per diem listed London for the entire trip, including days of travel. -Conservancy encourages Travelers to be conservative with their per +These per diem rates are the maximum daily rate Travelers can claim.
