$APE Holding Minimum for Grant Requests

So, let me see if I get this straight. Your solution - to a problem not created by stewards - is to use their earnings to solve a problem they had no hand in? Is that it?

  1. Why did you wait until now to bury it in a proposal that’s probably not likely to go to vote, let alone succeed at vote?
  2. Why didn’t you just write it up as an idea so that it can be discussed on its own merits?

In times of economic turmoil, businesses tend to scale back, not only non-essential spending but also staff cuts - but they don’t tend to halt activities that generate income. Obviously we can’t do staff cuts without an AIP. To the extent that my AIP-466: Proposal To Close Non-Essential Working Groups is designed to do just that.
