FAmSCo traditionally handles a large part of the Fedora budget, but local communities now have the opportunity to decide themselves and take decisions. Therefore it is required have a concrete guideline on "how it is done".

As follow different levels will be set up so that decisions can be taken appropriately:

USD 0 - 100: Only a peer review is needed. In this context 'peer' means either a community credit card holder or an individual FAmSCo member. If the request is made by a FAmSCo member then it should be reviewed by another FAmSCo member or community credit card holder, the one who makes the request cannot approve it.

USD 101 - 500: Review by the local community is needed. This should happen in an IRC meeting and the approval needs to be documented in the meeting logs (please use meetbot's #agreed command).

USD 501 - 5000: Review by FAmSCo is required. The should either happen in the weekly IRC meetings or in trac. The approval must be documented either in the meeting logs or in a trac ticket.

Note that for everything > USD 5000 we need a PO, this means we need someone from Red Hat (FPL, CommArch? or Engineering).
