Hi Nyall,
I wanted to get back to you regarding your proposed changes to the grant
programme process. The changes make sense for me.
Is 1 week enough for contributor voting & discussion summary writing?
Would you start a dedicated QEP for updating the grant programme process?
Regards,
Anita

Thanks for offering this opportunity once again, and for the hard work
you do in making this happen!
I was wondering if we could make a small change to the process for
submission going forward. Specifically, now that we're requiring that
all QEP proposals go through a formal contributor voting and
acceptance process (instead of the old "no comments means implicit
acceptance" approach), I think the grant process should also take this
into consideration and require that the associated QEPs have been
voted on by contributors and accepted BEFORE they get put out to the
community voting members for ranking.
Otherwise we could have the awkward situation where a grant is
submitted which sounds exciting, the QEP generates a bit of back and
forth discussion, the grant wins but then is ultimately deemed
technically unacceptable when the actual work is submitted for review.
So my thoughts are that we could tweak the schedule to look like this:
(changed bit in bold/italic)
- Call for proposals (4 weeks)
- QEP discussion period (2 weeks)
- /QEP moves to the/*/CONTRIBUTOR /*/voting stage. If not approved,
then the grant is ineligible and will be withdrawn. /Writing
discussion summaries (1 week)
- */COMMUNITY/ *Voting starts (2 weeks)
- Publication of results
How does that sound?
