[chapter-delegates] FW: Project Funding

[EJ Preston]

Gene,

I understand your points.  DO believe that the concept is intrinsically 
GOOD.  Agreed that care should be taken, but this opportunity is 
wonderful.  I know there's a number of projects in a number of chapters 
that current could benefit immediately.  Future moneys may/SHOULD 
increase, as would the submission of projects ready to go.  That's one 
important notion I think should be attended to...  Project funding 
should be given out on viability and impact standards, no?
