Guys,

I'd really be more comfortable with reimbursing people individually via paypal or even via wire transfer (despite the difficulties of wire transfer). The NPO didn't make the purchases, the individuals did, reimbursing a different individual/organization not only looks odd to finance - but there is also no way for me to guarantee that the individuals who are owed money by Red Hat are getting paid back.

This isn't a "trust" thing - it's simply a matter of being consistent in how we reimburse people.

How many people do not have paypal and could be paid via wire transfer instead?

That would be shaiton (Kévin) and I for the one I know of.

I've created ticket #381 to separate out my reimbursements.

I can understand that but:
- This has been already made before (ok, this is not a reason to make it happen again)
- We can give you a personal PayPal account (not the NPO one but the eseyman for example), and this will be exactly the same. From what I see, you need to reimburse who paid, exactly. Look at the bills, they are labeled to the NPO. Ok, not necessarily all of them.

Even if we paid by ourselves, several invoices were made for the NPO. If we separate this to an other ticket, would that work? From what you explained, I don't see any issue here.

For the other tickets bills, separating to an other ticket would work.

I think what Kévin tries to say above is that we are fine with being reimbursed through the NPO or by direct transfer, but some of the bills are addressed to the NPO and we think it would faster and more logical if at least these were reimbursed to the NPO via paypal.

I might also avoid problem such as 'you reimbursed someone for an expense he did not do' (since the bill is on the NPO's name).

Well, I got the impression that most of the bills were in people's names, not in the NPO's names.

That said, it is still easier to do things via paypal vs. wire transfer, but the total amount is way beyond one wire transfer.

Can we break out the bills that are for individuals from the NPO bills?

Are all of these bills already paid or are some of them waiting on reimbursement to actually be paid?

NM, I think almost all of these have individual people's names on them along with the NPO info.

It would be easier to do paypal to those who can take it (and whose names are listed, even if the NPO is listed as well) and then do individual paypal transactions to the NPO for what remains if it's huge....

Argh, sorry I missed the ticket update.
I am closing this ticket, and breaking to match the bills names.

We still have to pay #379 :If we can have a paypal transfert quickly that would be great to be able to pay them. (either on the NPO or to eseyman.. let's reply to the ticket 379 for this please, not here)

Going to break this ticket in several ones (matching the name on the bill)
