I forgot to answer your request about the phone bills.
No, I won't give you or any other Council members a copy.
1. There are about 30 pages. I don't have time make 16 copies
   of it.
2. I am not sure it is approriate to issue it to any others.
   Phone bills could include private information.

   At least in Iowa, there is such law that the telephone bills of
   senators and representatives should NOT be disclosed.
   I am not saying that this applies to us, but I definitely
   don't want give out the telephone bills of others, unless
   I am authorized by the ones themselves. Sorry, for that.

Sure, business is business.
First does council has budget ? 
Do we need any control it ?
Does working for IFCSS put no restriction on us at all ?
Do we, as honorable council member, have any self control ?
As most of us have access to mail, we should use more of it.

I am against over spending all the time. Not just because we don't want
waste, but most importantly (at least to me), it shows our careness.
I know there were a lot of things Hongguang had to deal. But
I don't think I can justify that huge bill. Maybe Hongguang has
his reason. So let's hear from him and review it to justify the whole
thing.

Dear Mr Hongguang Zhou and all of the Council members:

Yes, Hongguang! I am also very concerned with the HQ financial situation.
I am interested in reviewing the HQ financial report also. The Council
should work with HQ, and ask them send the report to council as soon as
they can. If possible, I will be very happy to join you work for the 
financial affairs of IFCSS. But, for the same reason, we also need to review
our council's expenses, control council budget. We should save any penny if
it can be saved. BTW, we do NOT have any reason to use more money, because
others have spent more IFCSS' money. As a council financial committee and IT
member, you should know more financial management than me. 

I am not council financial committee member. But at this time I'd like 
officially asking both Council and HQ report the financial situation to
the Council. I think I have the right, since I am elected as a council
member by our CCS. 

Ren, Songlin
Council member of IFCSS from NE

I would say let's review them all.
I would like to see a thorough review of IFCSS budget and spending
from both HQ and the Finance Task Force in the next teleconference.
