Hi Andrea; I should mention that those of us that applied for TAC assistance from the ASF for Sinsheim are not eligible for assistance for Portland.
This is a general ASF rule, I have no idea if the PMC can/will override this with available funding but it may lead to somewhat reduced presence in the US event.
