Now, now...shhhh

Right, we never succeeded to create a decent financial committee.
This said, I am not convinced the fundraising should be part of the 
financial committee (it involves as well technical needs, communication 
issues etc...) and I would suggest that we should not get stuck on such 
bureaucratic details.

Let's simply create a fundraising committee. If some one wants to 
dissolve it later, or attached it to another already existing 
committee... fine.

Can you draft for us a resolution with
* the creation of a fundraising committee
* description of the goal
* a team
* a delegation for this fundraising

I'll post it on the board wiki and we'll see if the board acts (votes...)

(make it several resolutions if you feel necessary)
