Is it corruption? I don't think so." And that is the reason I completely agreed with you above.

Also, an active contributor should have preference than a person that is not contributing for so long. And I had no idea how it works from the TC point of view (and Ekaterina explained it to me and I understood the explanation). > So, why do you think the travel committee and the Board are corrupt?

I didn't ask sponsorship and I don't know about my friends situation, this is not the case at all. Again, sorry if I gave the wrong impression and please consider these two things if I did it: 1) I'm not a fluent English speaker (far away from that) 2) As I wrote in my first email, I'm just trying to understand the process, Germán gave a nice overview and Ekaterina complemented answering the questions still not clarified.
