    Hi all,<br>
    <br>
    @Steven, thanks for taking this over and also participating on the
    board meeting. Indeed we should have a "two-level" way of
    refinement. <br>
    <br>
    For the first kick off, I added an item into FOSS4G's conference
    manual "travel grants":<br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_Handbook#Travel_Grants">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_Handbook#Travel_Grants</a><br>
    <br>
    I agree with Cameron, that this is the place to store it. <br>
    <br>
    The question is, how do we proceed? What I can do is to write down
    FOSS4G 2016 LOC thoughts on this in a brief manner and we start the
    discussion based on this? I can link into a new WIKI page
    "preliminary thoughts on travel grants", so people reading this do
    not think, that the procedure is already fixed (what could be the
    case, if we put it into the manual directly).<br>
    <br>
    Regards, Till<br>
    <br>
