[chapter-delegates] FW: Project Funding - Important Announcement

[Gene Gaines]

Veni and all,

The US$150,000 project funding will be a good opportunity
for the chapters to cooperate.

I plan to submit at least one proposal for this funding. I will
share my proposal all chapters on this list. If a consensus of
this list is that the project is not worthwhile for ISOC and
chapters as a whole, then I will not submit the proposal to Hq.

Lets share and support each other.  So much better for all.

Veni, I support your remaining on the project funding committee.
Can I and others feel comfortable that you are not being
EU-biased? Yes. You said the words (below): open and transparent
process.
