Yes, true, but this is really a rare exception.  In the 1.5 years that I've
been on the IAOC, I don't remember a case where expenses were made and
reimbursed.  That makes it hard to be more precise here.

If the IAOC members wanted to claim expenses that should not be reimbursed,
this rule would be easy to circumvent.  If this is a concern, then I'd
suggest that the IAOC simply publishes what expenses were paid.
