So rrrrright, so much for the false assumptions. The expenses of Board members relating to Foundation work are not entirely covered by the Foundation. That's not a false assumption. That's a fact.
As far as I know (and I should know a thing or two about this), being reimbursed for Wikimedia-related expenses is just a matter of requesting reimbursement and providing the necessary documentation where needed.
If you have been denied reimbursement for Wikimedia-related expenses after submitting a reimbursement form, then PLEASE tell me (for the form, see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Reimbursement_request_form.xls ).
Setting up an explicit per diem policy to cover food/lodging/transit would only make such requests easier (no need to get many small receipts).
This said, Michael wrote yesterday that I should ask for my child care costs to be covered. Does that need a resolution ?
It seems perfectly reasonable to be reimbursed for child care obtained to cover times you are traveling on Wikimedia-related business. I don't see why reimbursement of that expense would need a resolution.
