Kurt (and others)- |

I don't think that we need to go more complex. Robin wrote a well |
| 18 |
written factually based argument as to why we need more RAM in lark. I |
| 19 |
believe this document gives us enough background to make an informed |
| 20 |
decision and vote. |

We could make our official policy this (flame and lacerate please ;): |
| 23 |

Gentoo developers seeking funds from the Gentoo Foundation should |
| 25 |
contact the Gentoo Foundation treasurer and provide them with a well |
| 26 |
written statement describing the amount and nature of funds required as |
| 27 |
well as answering the following questions: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
1. Why are the funds needed? |
| 30 |
2. How will the funds benefit the Gentoo community? |
| 31 |
3. How will the funds benfit the Gentoo development community? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
The last question I am shaky on ... I would like three points though for |
| 34 |
structure - ideas? |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Once we all read the developer's proposal, we could do a simple 2/3 |
| 37 |
supermajority vote or something similar. |
