My idea about a list would be more to prevent subjective or arbitrary grants. |

A list would make sure that at least the time of the year forms no factor in |

possible grants. Of course making a list means making decisions. But the |

alternative would be to have the decisions made for you by external |
| 16 |
influences. |
