Hi,
From the arguments, I had a hard time to understand why some
organizations got so much less than they requested, and some got every
single dollar. I assume more detailed arguments will follow?
Kind regards,

Hi Everyone
Rather than repeat everything I would like to point you to a blog post
created earlier today.

I do want to take the opportunity to once again thank all those
involved in this first round, including all the participating chapters. As
expressed earlier: this is the future of our funds dissemination and we
will refine the process, but this first round has exceeded my expectations
on all levels. Thanks everyone!
Jan-Bart
