Something like: 

Every SG will donate N (orN/2 depending on the number of slots available to the 
SG) travel slots a year for emergency needs such as getting a WG chair to a 
meeting?  And if this is what the team decides I will take it back to the NCSG 
with my personal support (yes and including the recommendation that we would do 
our fair share)

But who would go first to solve the issue this time?  Obviously sometimes the 
person is a member of a particular SG group so hopefully they can do this.  But 
sometime she or he won't be.

Otherwise, are there any suggestions on the way to solve this since mine seems 
so very shot down.
