Now who is being negative?

The auction proceeds are ring-fenced until the community process has moved forward. So I would rather suggest that you ignore the source of funding and focus on the objective, the cost and the result.
However I think the idea of CES is very interesting ... and I am sure there are other and similar events that could also be useful.
Could I suggest that we work on identifying the message we want to get out, the audience for that message and options for delivering the message to the audience: we can then push this through the relevant processes to get budget.
(BTW - I think CES is a good idea, but not appropriate because we are not prepared. I have no idea of levels of participation or cost - so please do not consider this a formal endorsement.)
