I agree with your point of view. However, if we do not allocate funds
in APAC regional budget, then either we have to convince Flock
organizers to include APAC or no one from APAC gets to go to Flock.
Keeping that in mind, I think, until we are able to convince and get a
confirmation that APAC will get a funding from Flock budget, we should
have some provisions from regional budget.
