It started today with a first draft related to this fund:

@dbrownlf @joshhopkins @andrew I have also included the names of your organizations in the draft. Any concerns about this? This would make this organisation central drivers for the next report. We clould also finance @rockita through this fund.

I would be very happy about any support or feedback. I will try to have a first draft ready by the next meeting on Wednesday. Since this find is aimed exactly at projects like ours, I think it is very likely that we will find support here.

@Ly0n no concerns on my end 👍
