Hello all,


Thanks for looping me in! I’ve added Teodora to the conversation as this 
applies to her as well and everyone is aware of the available benefits.

To answer Jake's question regarding the 2024 policy for ex-council 
members x Gathering attendance, here is the specific rule:

/"Council members will be added as individual members when their council 
period ends. They receive one free Gathering ticket for the gathering 
immediately following their term, though they must pay for food and 
accommodation at the standard rate. Travel reimbursement is not provided."/

@Jake and @Teodora, let me know if you would like to use this and I will 
send over a 100% discount code for your registration.

@Jake, thanks also for the offer to help with the General Assembly! Once 
we have a plan in place (around May), I might reach out depending on the 
plan.


Thanks everyone, and let me know if you have any questions.


In community,

Franziska
