 It puts into question the decisions of the selection panel, and expose the individuals volunteering there considerably.  </span></p>

 to include it as a suggestion for the implementation phase to actually fleshed the whole process and provide the details, if it is something the rest of the group is really passionate about.

 fund, each grant is larger than the whole auction proceeds funds we are discussing, and this is for governments receiving the grants (not small, medium applicants).  </span></p>
