Right, the additional rules we were proposing are:

    In furtherance of this requirement expenses for members of the IAOC may be reimbursed
    upon approval of the IAOC Chair, or by a consensus of the IAOC, for exceptional cases only.

Let's put in place a mechanisms that allows the flexibility (i.e., not change to the "under exceptional circumstances" and "with agreement of the IAOC chair or the IAOC"), but remove the risk of surprise by inserting "with prior agreement", and supply a way of determining whether stricter rules are needed by requiring "annual reporting of expenses paid".

To me "exceptional cases" also implies unplanned.  It would be nice to still have this flexibility.
