Hi

I recall when this came up that I pointed out it was fairly unnecessary
to donate to both tachanka and riseup. This is because Tachanka is an
umbrella organisation that includes riseup, aktivix, mayfirst (who
actually physically host your server) and a few others.

In this respect, a donation to tachanka would be considered a donation
to all.

With that in mind, I'd like to suggest the following:

Nologic is paid the amount below that didn't get paid last time.

Rather than sending the £500 that failed to send last year to riseup,
£500 is paid to tachanka again since this money will then go where it is
most needed between mayfirst (who run the server), aktivix (who run
several lists including this one) and riseup (who run the other lists).

Tachanka was set up to make this kind of thing pretty easy from an end
user group point of view in terms of donating to in-community tech
initiatives.

Does this seem sensible and/or make sense?
