> Google pays out normally on a “NET 30” from the date you send in your
> invoice to p2phelp at google.com <mailto:p2phelp at google.com>. This means
> approximately 30 BUSINESS days which translates to approximately 45
> calendar days. If you have not received payment within 50 days, please

> carols at google.com <mailto:carols at google.com>.  If you have an urgent
> issue, please email me directly.
> 
> NB: POs from Google can be invoiced against as many times as necessary
> until funds are gone. There's no need to delay in invoicing for plane
> tickets because you are waiting to invoice for the mentor stipends or
> vice versa.

> FAQs:
> 
> 1) I got a PO that includes $1100/$2200 for travel expenses to the
> mentor summit but we're not going to send anyone to the mentor summit.
> Do I need a revised PO?
> 
> No. Simply invoice for the mentor stipend and don't invoice us for the
> rest. You don't need a new PO.
> 
> 2) What does the $1100/$2200 travel budget cover, exactly?
> 
> This covers airfare for both mentors primarily. You are also welcome to
> expense ground transportation to/from the airport(s) and/or baggage fees
> for the delegates assuming the total airfare cost is under the
> $1100/$2200 you have been allocated. We will not give you more than
> $1100/$2200 to cover any expenses in any event, but some additional
> expenses for *travel costs only* are permitted.  Please note that this
> can never include additional nights in the hotel beyond the two nights
> already covered by Google directly.
> 
> 3) We're only sending one delegate to the Mentor Summit. What is our
> travel expenses cost cap?
> 
> $1100.
> 
> 4) We don't want to receive any money from Google this year. Is there
> anything we need to do?
> 
> If you're not planning to accept any money from Google this year, first
> please consider donating your mentor stipend funds to the Software
> Freedom Conservancy. They would be happy to receive the money and can
> use funds that would otherwise go unused.
> 
> If your organization still absolutely does not want the money and does
> not want to donate it either, please fill out this form
> <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/14a9zBYuJ0vjo3GMspWIdRcFxNGNqOSCAfWIP5Jz9ISg/viewform>to
