While I expect us to be talking in substantial additional detail about a broader set of expenses shortly, I do want to make sure that we pay timely attention to stipend, a function that sometimes was not handled well in the past.
CDS law (NL 5-7) provides that stipends are paid to civil servants when they have been authorized (as to a position, not an individual) by the RA; and that the Chancellor essentially hires, supervises and fires persons in the positions,
I note that we already have the following stipended provisions created and approved:
Public Information Officer
Content Archivist
Grounds Caretaker
As you know from announcements, I am in the process of filling these positions.
I have appointed two persons to act jointly as PIO, as announced here:

There is a statutory stipend for one at $L1000/month, provided by NL 4-16.
I request that you approve a second similar amount, so that both PIO positions can be stipended. I am more than confident that CDS will enjoy effort from both Brian and Rose far in excess of the value of those token amounts.
Thanks for your consideration.
