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. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
However, this is something that needs to be voted upon. |
