The problem and risk that I see here is that D&I is not accepting any funding for interns. Outreachy is. Saying the word "accept" with respect to this funding may lead some to think that D&I is challenging, uhhmmm, core beliefs (hah! didn't say it). In fact, I do not think that you intend to do such and I, for one, would rather avoid an exhausting and pointless argument of the form "You must not do this! ... We don't plan to ... But you must not! ... We aren't doing it ... *ad infinitum*". How about this for alternative language that makes the actual intent more clear: *If Outreachy receives funding for more than 3 interns, we will facilitate the placement of such additional interns with **Apache projects, but we plan to keep the initial rounds of this project * *relatively small for **learning purposes.*
