</div>
<div class="">I'm in support of your recommendation that the deadline be lifted as it is impractical on the following bases:</div>
<div class="">1. The application period opened on May 4 (2nd month of Q2) and closed June 30(?) (3rd month of Q2). The June 30 deadline is debatable as the AMS Portal had it as "Valid until July 01, 2020".</div>
<div class="">2. Funds received must be spent by year-end. Last year, the funds were credited to our account on September 2 despite submitting the application on May 29 (4 months to spend? 🤔).</div>

<div class=""><b class="">Final comment:</b></div>
<div class="">The June 30 deadline would be most practical if the application period had opened on January 1.</div>

Perhaps some of you (all of you?) have received a reminder that today is the deadline for applying for chapter admin funding. If you haven't, now you have :)
<br class="">
<br class="">
But, on a more serious note, have you wondered why there's a deadline for applying for admin funding, and it's end of June? Perhaps ISOC could reconsider this, and lift the deadline for admin funding, so that chapters can apply throughout the whole year?
