&lt;br /&gt;
This is an official communication from the Usenet Big-8 Management&lt;br /&gt;
Board. Please note that followups are set to news.groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In March 2021, the Board joined Open Collective Europe&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;https://opencollective.com/europe&amp;gt; in order to make all of its&lt;br /&gt;
financial activities transparent. Members of the public will now be able&lt;br /&gt;
to see a complete record of the Board&amp;#039;s income and expenditures.&lt;br /&gt;
Historically, the Board&amp;#039;s activities have been financed entirely through&lt;br /&gt;
donations by its members, though we have decided to allow for donations&lt;br /&gt;
from members of the public via Open Collective Europe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We use donations primarily to pay our web/news hosting bills, and&lt;br /&gt;
secondarily to cover expenses associated with the Board&amp;#039;s outreach&lt;br /&gt;
activities (e.g., attendance at technical conferences where we speak&lt;br /&gt;
about the Board&amp;#039;s work) and to help fund maintenance and development of&lt;br /&gt;
STUMP and WebSTUMP, the GNU packages for newsgroup robomoderation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For further information, please see the &amp;quot;Finances&amp;quot; page on the Board&amp;#039;s&lt;br /&gt;
website at &amp;lt;https://www.big-8.org/wiki/Finances&amp;gt; and the Board&amp;#039;s Open&lt;br /&gt;
Collective page at &amp;lt;https://opencollective.com/usenetbig8&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
