2. Problems / Issues 2.1 Issues - organisational, administrative or other problems foreseen The issues mentioned in my last report are still unresolved

2.1.1 A deputy should be available to be able to authorize travel applications in case of the CRAF chairman being temporarily unavailable. CRAF asks RadioNet to allow the previous chair Roberto Ambrosini (INAF) to act on WP5 matters in such cases.
2.2 Red flags - major problems
2.2.1 The travel budget is insufficient to fund full costs of travel of CRAF members to CRAF meetings. A cap of EUR 500,- on individual applications has been introduced in order to stay within the allocated budget. This creates hardships for CRAF members from poorer countries (See detailed account for CRAF 48 below).
