Liam,
Both of these policies are internally consistent and logical, however I believe that they are at least partially contradictory
I understand that the potential contradiction relies on the fact that if fundraising and spending of chapters are really fully separated, their applications to the FDC should not be assessed by taking into account their fundraising abilities?
In principle, this is so. While the FDC does suggest to some chapters that they could intensify their efforts in diversifying funds (for the benefit of the whole movement), it is a soft recommendation. None of the chapters had their recommended allocation lowered mainly because of poor fundraising results. I guess it is a matter of reasonable effort - if there sometimes seems to be a low hanging fruit, it is reasonable to ask if it can be reached.

Anyways I meant to give an overall positive critic,
and I apologize for upkeeping this thread, it was silly. Thus I am not
going to continue with budgetary details, or reply to this final comment :)
