Checking the budget every quarter seems like a good idea, as we
could
have a better overview of how we have been doing so far. But at least in
the EMEA, some people when they get funding approval to participate in
events, they submit their receipts for reimbursement after several
months, and as a result we get mixed up when re-allocating funds.
Just for the record, we need to be careful with that, as Red Hat will
not reimburse after 90 days.
So I would propose if we are going to revise the regional budgets
every
quarter to re-allocate unspent funds, then we should toughen the process
of reimbursement and ask for people to submit receipts(along with event
reports, etc) within for eg. 2 weeks after the event takes place.
Honestly, I don't see why people _wouldn't_ want to do that.
(Obviously, sometimes stuff comes up, but... in general.)
