ACM Technical Meeting Request Form (TMRF) Section III - Budget Rationale Revised 05/01 Briefly describe the revenue and expense assumptions upon which your meeting budget is based. Comparisons to the same conference held previously will be extremely helpful to the reviewers. Revenue Assumptions: Expense Assumptions: Statement of Understanding The enclosed Technical Meeting Request Form has been prepared to the best of my ability. It is complete and accurate and I agree to provide ACM with required reports. I understand that all rights to the conference described in this request, including without limitation, the name of the conference, and whether arising now or with respect to the same conference held in the future, are the property of and belong to the sponsoring organization(s). If this conference is approved for ACM sponsorship or co-sponsorship. I agree to remit surplus funds promptly and to comply with ACM policies regarding expenditures, financial reporting and distribution of funds. I understand that whenever it becomes known that income or expense will vary more than 15% (or the amount of contingency) in any major category of the budget, an amendment must be sent to the SIG Services Liaison at ACM HQ for approval distribution. I will use the budget as part of the final financial conference report by filling in actuals for all revenue and expenses. This and other material comprising the final reports shall be submitted to ACM no later than 120 days following the completion of the conference. I agree to submit a final report and 10 copies of the proceedings to ACM HQ within 120 days following the conference. I am informed of the ACM policy on free circulation of scientists as it applies to the ACM Resolution on Sponsorship of International Conference of 25 May 1975 and of the spirit and intent of the relevant Resolution on the Free Circulation of Scientists of the International Council of Scientific Unions. I know of no aspect of the proposed meeting which is contrary to this intent. I accept full responsibility and liability if I fail to comply with the ACM policies and procedures. ______________________________________ ______________________ __________ Conference Chair Signature Member Number Date ______________________________________ ______________________ ___________ Conference Treasurer Signature Member Number Date This completes Section III
