CML Doc 16: summary of costs and income

CML Doc 16: summary of costs and income

Convention on Modern Liberty, Costs and Income, Sept 2008 – April 2009

Two things should be noted:

1)      Because the CML was an ad hoc creation these costs include all the organisational outgoings. A similar sized conference held by an existing organisation would not include the normal costs of its staff, office, accounting, in its conference budget.

2)      Except by their modesty these costs do not reflect either the extraordinary gift of time and effort from volunteers, or the much lower than commercial rates charged by many of those who were paid. As well as the intern team I would like to make special mention of three who volunteered their time and effort: Henry Porter who put in a huge amount and also personally covered the costs of the launch party in January; Rosemary Bechler who ran the partnership operation; Stephen Taylor who created the stewarding network on the day. I’d also like to thank imprint academic who donated the programme ‘taster’. Finally, a special thanks to Anthony Davey for his pro bono Independent Examiner’s Report on the Statement of Costs (see website).  Without these and many other contributions the costs would have been prohibitive. They made it possible
