I want to see the Foundation reach a point where such sponsorships are |
21 |
possible, so I would not rule out the possibility of a future event. Right |
22 |
now unfortunately I have to agree with Grant that we are not at that point |
23 |
because given a flood of similar requests we wouldn't be able to handle them |
24 |
all and would need a set criteria for selection. |

However, this is something that needs to be voted upon. |
