39 people participated in our experimental non-binding poll on how to allocate the google funds
There were 2 big winners:
* Support EnablingTheFuture (111 points)

Because the mini-grant fund could Support EnablingTheFuture (among other things) I've created a new thread to propose and hopefully implement a first mini-grant program.
Please consider the Minigrant Program Proposal
To jumpstart the process, please create and review Funding proposals like this one.
This is a non-binding poll to begin thinking about this question. You can change your allocations over time based on emerging discussions.
You can also add your own suggestions to this initial list of options, and "fake-fund them." This prototypes the mini-grant process!)

Set some funds aside for 2018 San Mateo Maker Faire booth to help raise awareness & seek out additional funding. I'd drive down to man it!

ETF / GRANT funding should have defined objectives and reasonable chance of success based on measurable evidence. All fund dispersal ammounts should be made public

I think the most useful benefits would be from the top down. Support the ETF crew that ties things together. Bring chapter leaders together, so they may learn from each other, push new info to their groups, and form collaborations.

Great to see new participants and new proposals (Christian added "Support for chapters in Latin America with equipment and materials" and it's already garnered 12 points).
We need to figure out how to categorize and execute these proposals and the others that will follow . Here are some questions to ponder and discuss.
Any of these fundable proposals could fall under the category of mini-grants. Would that be good?
And how do we decide how to allocate funds to various mini-grant proposals.
For example
* one person, one vote
* one person, ten votes? (as in this non-binding dot-poll)
* votes per person determined by past contributions (how?)
* etc.
The way to work out the answers to such questions might be
* to use this Loomio to discuss, then informally propose, then get feedback and revise, etc.
* And, of course, to get more people involved.
The Loomio and Enspiral communities have thought a lot about these issues and come up with a variety of solutions and formulas. Let's learn from them and from each other, to move toward agreed-upon processes for agreed-upon decisions.
