Proposal on Examinatin of the Financial And Asset Situation of IFCSS HQ

Sponsored by Finance Committee
Draft by Zhou Hongguang

I. Basckground
    During the each transition of the HQ, there has been always discrepency
occured in the financial records of HQ. This year is again sees no exception.
The financial report by the 4th term is incomplete and even after the 5th
term budget request has been was submitted to the Council's Finance
Committee and the repeated request by the Finance Committee of furnishing
update information, the report by the HQ is still full with
estimated fingures.

II. Objectives
Financial records
To compose fixed asset list
Workload evaluation
To gather Information for financial package regarding the operation of HQ

III. Efficiency analysis
Benefits that may reulted from such a site examination
Costs involved: travel and lodge expenses by the Finance Committee
Expected date of report to the Council
--------
    Whereas since the Ifcss HQ does not have a equipment list therefore,
the council can not examine the corresponding items in the HQ budget.

    Whereas the members of the council financial committee hold the
responsibility to the members of the council and Ifcss and have the right
to know the finance of the Ifcss.
  
    Be it resolved:

    The members of financial committee will go to HQ and give a clear
report for last term and a list of Ifcss equipments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
              The Resolution on the Later-Comers' concerns about
                         possible hurt because of CSPA

                     Sponsored by Wang Jing and Zhang Feng

     Whereas all the CSS community consider CSPA as a great achievement.

     Whereas in the process of CSPA writing, there is little attention
paid to those Fellow Chinese Students who came United States after April
11m, 1990.

    Whereas after CSPA Implementation began, interests conflict between Late
Arriving Dependents (LADs) and Late Arriving Students (LASs) become a bad
sign for both organization and CSS community.

    Be it  resolved:

     (1) Being an organization on behalf of the whole CSS, IFCSS HQ should
compose a comprehensive fact-based report on all the issues of CSPA as soon
as possible.

     (2) It's IFCSS's liability and obligation to provide fair opportunities
to the whole CSS community. If CSPA really hurt the interests of LASs after
some periods of CSPA Implementation, IFCSS HQ should show its favorites and
sympathy towards LASes on this interests conflict issue and work on reducing
any possible hurt.

     (3) IFCSS HQ should assign one person (one from 4 full time) as the
corordinator with NCO to minitor the latest CSPA situation, to keep all
CSS especially  Later-comers informed by up-date official information.

From: Yungui Ding

I am reviewing the package for the next teleconference.
Here is some thoughts, some of which may have been raised before by others.

1.  Liang Er's resolution.
    I suggest to amend as follows:
    -- All contract The IFCSS president signs with contractors with
       more than $2,000 involved should be:
       (1) put to open bidding
       (2) ratified by the Council
    This should not be limited to those mentioned projects in Liang Er's 
    resolution.

2. Wang Jing's resolution
   I once saw that Wang Jing proposed to set up a LC committee.
   What happened to that idea?

   Instead of asking the HQ to provide a (one-time) summary, I think we should
   ask IFCSS to continue monitoring the CSPA issue, keep the CSS be informed
   of what is happening, and take action to promote the interests of LC's.

3. While the proposals of the finance committee will be reconsidered,
   why the resolution on Transition is not included in the package?

Thank you for your consideration.

Yungui
