[Koha] Koha Fundraising Committee Draft Terms of Reference

[Brendan Gallagher]

Great anyone have more thoughts?

BTW nothing has been done "behind the scenes"...  All discussions have been
posted to the mailing lists and talked about and presented at conferences /
hackfests.  Nothing has or will be hidden.  I just want to make sure that
we're clear on that :)

Has anyone reviewed the document at all?  And there was no push to get the
bylaws voted on at the last meeting because we fell short of a long enough
review period (but since we had finished the doc we wanted to make sure it
was available for some discussion at the general meeting)...  Not to vote
on.

Mirko we need more volunteers - are you willing to help here?  You have
good opinions.

Thanks,
Brendan
