It was suggested we use today as a deadline to push this to completion, but
we're not there yet. I think we have 3 requirements before going to OSGeo
requesting TGP funding:

>
   1. a designated lead who will take overall responsibility for the TGP
   (Adam, seems like you'd be a likely candidate for this, but I guess we
   would need you to explicitly say so)
   2. a decision on the amount of support we're providing
   3. a doc that's ready to present to them (not there yet!)

Re: point 2, I propose:

   - we allocate a total of $3k, including cash + the estimated cash cost
   of additional workshop & conference registrations
   - in making the request of OSGeo, we present our contribution including
   total value of these registrations, since they represent potential lost
   income (which will be higher than actual cash cost), ie. approx $4500
   - we present it as a strong 1st round of TGP, with a 2nd round to
   follow, pending uptake & funding

*Seeking support or otherwise for this proposal so we have something we can
proceed with.*
