- with previous agreement by the board of trustees for per person within a certain budget
- with the previous agreement by the board of trustees for a certain budget, and agreement on the traveller per the CEO or an officer (for example, WSIS reimbursements)
Expenses must be only related to travel to go to meetings related to Wikimedia Foundation activity. Expenses must be justified by receipts, plane tickets etc... Requests for reimbursement must be done within 3 months to the financial officer.
In case a board member gets above the allowance, he must inform the financial officer or the treasurer of the additional costs. He must balance his following trimester travel costs so that a semester is within is allowance, or get approval by the board of trustees for a change in his allowance.
