Presentation & Approval 2015 Budget Presentation by John Souter, Euro-IX Treasurer

2015 Budget The 2015 budget was shared with the membership on 5 March budget is based on the following: Standard Members = 44 Associate Members = 7 Remote Members = 28 Patrons = 11 We’ve been extremely conservative with the numbers, losing CISCO as a Patron was a big hit on the Euro-IX finances We’ve reviewed the cost structure for travel, forum and administration costs. Julia will be going on maternity leave soon, so we’ve hired Nathalie on a nine month contract to cover her.

2015 Budget Projected 2015 Budget Income: Standard Members = 176,000 EUR Associate Members = 21,000 EUR Remote Members = 28,000 EUR Patrons = 110,000 EUR Forum Registrations = 7,000 EUR Total income in 2015 = 342,000 EUR

2015 Budget Projected 2015 Budget Expenditure: Secretariat Services = 202,355 EUR Travel Expenses = 23,000 EUR Forum Costs = 115,200 EUR Other = 29,568 EUR Total expenditure 2015 = 370,203 EUR

2015 Budget We are forecasting to make a loss of 28,203 EUR Inline with the policy to run the reserves down Current reserves at 54,765 EUR We expect the reserves at the end of 2015 to be just over 40,000 EUR

2015 Budget Projection for 2016 & 2017 The Board have studied the finances till is a year for settling down after the transition The Board held a strategy day in Feb and discussed Euro- IX’s vision, mission and strategic direction, this all impacts the budget projections We expect the association to continue to operate without any change to membership/patronage fees, for 2016 & 2017 We need to find other ways to fund certain projects and activities i.e. Fellowship program

2015 Budget Summary We’ve been conservative with the 2015 budget as we move in to a new chapter We’re inline with the policy to run down the reserves We are confident that there will be no change in the membership fees up to 2017
