Whoever was involved with the STF/SPI talks cannot be the recipient of the sponsorship. The same of course should apply to any other future funding, it must be either the community (via GA) or a third party setting up the sponsorship. I'm aware that would exclude Micheal, Thilo, and technically Jonatas, but at this point it's the only way I can see this move forward in any direction. Jonatas any feedback on this possibility?
