From b71ac5fcd025a0289b7ae05ce4f4bfbb0960f153 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Bradley M. Kuhn" Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2016 16:24:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] No policy change: update details for payment info. This is not a change in policy and therefore does not need Board approval. The change here merely changes details in collection for payments. --- Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.txt | 64 +++++++++++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 45 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) diff --git a/Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.txt b/Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.txt index 4e4c7ed..9a09b3b 100644 --- a/Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.txt +++ b/Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.txt @@ -122,11 +122,16 @@ for Project approval: preferred currency.
