Thanks for offering this opportunity once again, and for the hard work you
do in making this happen!

I was wondering if we could make a small change to the process for
submission going forward. Specifically, now that we're requiring that all
QEP proposals go through a formal contributor voting and acceptance process
(instead of the old "no comments means implicit acceptance" approach), I
think the grant process should also take this into consideration and
require that the associated QEPs have been voted on by contributors and
accepted BEFORE they get put out to the community voting members for
ranking.

Otherwise we could have the awkward situation where a grant is submitted
which sounds exciting, the QEP generates a bit of back and forth
discussion, the grant wins but then is ultimately deemed technically
unacceptable when the actual work is submitted for review.

So my thoughts are that we could tweak the schedule to look like this:
(changed bit in bold/italic)

- Call for proposals (4 weeks)
- QEP discussion period (2 weeks)
- *QEP moves to the** CONTRIBUTOR **voting stage. If not approved, then the
grant is ineligible and will be withdrawn. *Writing discussion summaries (1
week)
- *COMMUNITY *Voting starts (2 weeks)
- Publication of results

How does that sound?
