Proposal #49: No more penalty.
I propose that the current system of penalties is abandoned and replaced with a bonus point system.
Rationale
As every psychology student learns in the first year of college, conditional learning works way better through rewards than punishment: Instead of penalizing an NA or chapter that doesn't fullfill the requests of CISV international, I suggest we create a system that rewards NAs and chapters who do so.
Examples:
No cancellation of delegations: 20 points
Village DPAF sent in on time: 5 points
Full delegation to Summer camp confirmed by deadline: 5 points
These bonus points could then be used in different ways: First choice in camp invitations, number of camp invitations, etc, etc.
Besides the psychological learning effect, this would also reduce the necessary amount of money transfers to IO.
Respectfully submitted, Nick (GER)

in principle, I agree with the proposal.
I wonder, though, what's the budget-impact on CISV International of those fees. Maybe they are already counted as "income". hehe
Chris, Gaby, other IO Staff? Any clue?
some years ago it was decided that the penalty fees were to be used to support hosting of camps in 'weak' NAs. I don't know how much that has worked so far.
I also like the proposal of Nick! Something worth looking into for next AIM? Or maybe the hospitality points taskforce can do this?
Basti, If I am not mistaken the income was £19,000 this year, and for the last few years has been allocated in a similar way to the Ito fund.
I agree in principle with the idea, however I have to admit that on quite a few occasions my NA has worked a little bit harder to make something work out so that we don't face a penalty fee.
