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.
Based on discussion with Conservancy's Treasurer, I reworked this section
to clearly state that Conservancy can approve higher rates for hotels, but
that such approval should be done before travel begins. I also cut down
some of the extra detail in this section that I think is obvious (i.e.,
how to use the GSA website).
