Thanks, Bill.<div><br></div><div>1 Endorsing what Bill has said; there's no reason to be backwards about asking for $$ for specific things such as e-platforms, and I'll share that message and the timings with the relevant list. They need to narrow down what it is they want to build, platform-wise, and then we can work with them to put the application together. </div>
<div><br></div><div>2 Brendan, on the call I think the message re. the deadline was that they'll do rolling considerations of applications received and prefer to get them sooner rather than later. I suspect there may be a somewhat higher chance of success for getting it in sooner, i.e. in advance of March 22 deadline, but that's just my hunch. <br>
<br></div><div>3 Bill, re. the IGF Azerbajan event, yes yes yes. In fact I have some ideas about that, content-wise that I'll share with you. </div><div><br></div><div>Overall, from my days on staff, I think we'll do well out of this if we put in a good number of finite/discrete requests with decent rationales to them. They'll feel they have to give us something. </div>

Personally, I see no point in maintaining a principled asceticism that is not shared by or even known to anyone else. We will not be corrupted if we ask for a little support for e-platforms, admin, outreach, whatever, so hopefully we can start from a vision of where we'd like to be go and leverage opportunities accordingly.</div>
