Hi SM,
I think that we have to take into account that we have tried to
1) minimise the budget initially, and
2) Reduce operational expenditure to reach profitability as soon as possible.
If we start paying board members salaries, we will end up with a broke
organization, which will not evolve at all, anw will always be
struggling for funds.
What if the board member pass a resolution to increase their salaries,
what can we expect about the sustainability of the organization ?
Will we increase the price of the .mu domains to accomodate the
salaries of board members ?
