[UK-TUG] Discussion of motion DS1

[David Saunders]

I have been asked to comment on the suggestion that "as things stand 
donating £8,000 to TUG would result in £680 going to support TeX projects".

That suggestion is wrong.

Although TUG has overheads, and a general donation to TUG might be used 
to fund those overheads, TUG also has ring-fenced funds. According to
https://tug.org/tc/devfund/ <https://tug.org/tc/devfund/>

"The TeX Development Fund was created by the TeX Users Group in 2003, 
under the aegis of the TUG Technical Council, to aid growth of 
TeX-related technical projects."

According to
https://tug.org/tc/devfund/donate.html 
<https://tug.org/tc/devfund/donate.html>

"The TeX Users Group welcomes all donations to the TeX Development Fund. 
Development Fund accounting is separate from general TUG accounts; 
donated monies will not be used for any other purpose."

This is therefore a non-issue.

David
