What? |
17 |
|
18 |
Buying an asset requires monies which requires some legal body with |
19 |
representatives to purchase said item. Roy's example above was not a "technical" |
20 |
decision. |

Entertaining the response though, you *could* break this into (2) separate |
23 |
authorizations... |
24 |
|
25 |
1. Project $x requests a Power9 machine from council |
26 |
|
27 |
2. the council says/agrees we need a Power9 machine to carry out some technical |
28 |
function submitted for from project $x |
29 |
|
30 |
3. They authorize said procurement of a Power9 machine |
31 |
|
32 |
4. The "purse holder" (current Foundation or umbrella) goes and buys said Power9 |
33 |
machine. |
34 |
|
35 |
That is really not neccasary though. No different then how the Foundation just |
36 |
purchases the new sparc asset. |
