@jpetrich any ideas about how we can facilitate greater focus and impact without process (aka, bureaucracy)?

The bureaucracy tolerable is that which folks are willing to volunteer to do. If that's sporadic as ppl get the urge to make a proposal, I'm ok with that. I'd be more supportive of this if the group went and delivered an impressive proposal in a week, and then after that got approved asked for funding to continue.

Interesting. What would you hope to see in a proposal that isn't included in the current one? 

(maybe I’m misinterpreting the use of the word “proposal”)

I'd want to see the kind of proposal the group proposes to propose after doing the meta work this proposal proposes.

😂

The concept of granting capital for it before value has been demonstrated is my concern. If you did a mini sprint pro bono, that resulted in a recommendation Purple took, then asking for funds to continue makes a ton of sense to me. It's been derisked from a risk/reward standpoint.

Haha, fair. 

Admittedly I think I’m lost on exactly what that would look like. 🤣

If you had to pick one, is the concern:

(1) the concept of this exercise in general, or 

(2) the idea of some amount of capital being provided to incentivize it being conducted?
