This is super cool! I am very glad to see this happen. Thanks to
everyone who volunteered for the committee, and I look forward to
seeing lots more awesome grant projects!

Fantastic! :D

Will the new committee be working on a (written) set of principles to guide
decisions about which grants to accept? It's no secret that some past grants
have come with conditions (as money nearly always does) and some of those
restrictions have caused a lot of headache and some resentment.
