[tei-council] per-diem rates for Oxford

[Kevin Hawkins]

Right, so to save everyone the trouble, you should use the following for 
meals you had to acquire on your own:

$13.58 per breakfast
$19.012 for lunch
$21.728 for dinner

This uses the formula given in the draft reimbursement procedure, which 
takes into account the 80% that Syd noted but I had missed, but also 
divides expenses among the three meals differently than the 25%, 35%, 
and 40% breakdown that I cited below from a previous trip.  (Not sure 
where we got that breakdown from.)

I've written to John Unsworth directly to note that the reimbursement 
form has no clear place to request reimbursement of incidentals as 
outlined in the draft reimbursement guidelines.
