Other than having the grant open for discussion for months on the forum, do you have a specific suggestion for more engagement? A poll? (KIDDING!)
Some of your own previous feedback was positive:
The current decision was not to fund the implementation grant, at least for now, but to fund the design, which, I think, is exactly what @emersonian is arguing for above, and what I think your previous comments would imply. Are you thinking about it differently now, or have I misunderstood somewhere?
