[Ccwg-auctionproceeds] Are we trying to reinvent the wheel or Coordinate with other donors: Other Internet Community funding initiatives..

[Maureen Hilyard]

benefitted from these funds and had knowledge that we could have used.

Its a little bit late now. We've gone through too much to be looking back.
