1.5. Budget

CNI SIG will be allocated a budget of $15k for the year, which can be leveraged for various purposes, such as hosting events, conducting research, guest speaker fees, printing, swag, and captioning/translation.  What we cannot use the funds for is Travel.  So, no stipends for accommodations, planes, transportation, and automobiles.  Here is a generic action plan template that you can use.  It is up to you how in-depth you go, but  High-level is fine. 

Nancy: a plan is needed

Mathias: 

Adam: action plan
