DC for MGRC

Where do you stand on the testing and accountability to the MGRC for milestones? After realising the mistake I made, I feel that milestones should be accountable to the MGRC. What do you think would be the most prudent way to do this. personally I think certification testing is the way forward.

From your experience at the ECC, how much money do you think the MGRC needs to keep its self going - not in paying grant recipients. @shawn is there a budget defined for the MGRC anywhere?

Steve, as I mention in this post, I believe that MGRC members should be held accountable (by the community) for the success or failure of the bets placed. I’m not sure what you mean by certification testing, but it sounds heavyweight. I am a believer in metrics driven management, and think that every successful grant application should include KPI’s that will allow the community to quantitatively evaluate the success or failure of the proposal.

I believe that the vast majority of MGRC funds should be used to directly support people “doing the work”, and that we should keep the “overhead” to an absolute minimum. That said, I do believe that compensating committee members for their efforts is important.
