This is indeed why I dislike the whole trademark move. Not because I don't
understand the difference between trademarks and copyright, but probably I
have different goals in mind. It is a natural state for a legal team to
play defensive, and protect. I can't blame them for that, although the

Tomorrow at 17:00 UTC, I will be holding an office hour about program

Yes, I've seen the mentions in the FAQs. That doesn't constitute a reserve

In the absence of a reserve policy, we must assume your policy is to have
the planned level of reserves. If you underspend and put the extra in
reserves, that means you have too much in reserves.

Thomas, I agree with you that it would make sense to have a more
thoroughly defined reserve policy, but I also caution against
micromanaging the reserve. I believe that I said in my previous
email directed to Erik that I'm wondering what the downside is
of having some underspend for payroll due
I hope the Grants Retrospective comes up as one possible model for
evaluation. Its output had some useful features and side effects.
