[chapter-delegates] FW: Project Funding

[Rosa Delgado]

Veni,

I may be there - not decision has been taken yet. 

This is because, I volunteered for but I was expecting that you and
Patrick volunteered too and you didn't. When we discussed in the past in
the trustee list - we pushed for three places were given for trustees to
the process. I thought, with the idea that three of us could be there or
at least 2.

As you said it seems. I don't think it should be a conflict of interest
for your chapter to apply - it is a conflict if you lead the project.
This is clear in any process not only at ISOC. 

I volunteered with this assumption because with this I don't want to
disqualify the Geneva chapter for running for a funding.

No, Gene, the 3 will not be there. Rosa may be there, but neither me nor

Patrick have volunteered, and besides it seems there may be some
conflict 
of interest - e.g. if ISOC-Bulgaria decides to apply, I can't be on the 
committee.

I hope not. Chapters seem pretty unite on a number of issues that we do 
together.
