## Expense follow-up and sensitive concerns

Use comments on the expense for routine questions about a submitted expense. The comments are not public. The expense submitter, the Collective's administrators and the fiscal host's administrators can see them. Email <home@opensourceeurope.org> directly for sensitive information that the Collective's administrators should not see.

For suspected misuse of funds or a problem involving Collective administrators, contact the OSE team directly in private at <home@opensourceeurope.org>. You do not need to go through the administrators concerned.

## Internal conflicts

Collectives manage their own internal conflicts. OSE intervenes when the situation affects funds or hosting conditions. It does not promise mediation.
