Sure, I don't think anyone has a problem with that. But I think that
handing out unrestricted grants and "giving back" just because we're nice
people and they're nice people strays too far from the Foundation's mission
and contradicts the message about budgetary discipline that has been
hammered into chapters over the years.
The solution would then appear to be to treat the chapters better,
rather than others worse.
