[Joshua Hesketh]

Hello Kirsten,

Thank you for your patience in this. As you may have seen from our
minutes during our meeting last week we discussed your grant request.

We were unable to reach a decision in regards to the second half of your
grant request as we'd like a few further clarifications. If you are able
to respond to Brianna Laugher's email we feel that she had some valid
questions.

In regards to helping with hosting and VPS's we've approved your request
and we'd be happy to assist. I will shoot an email to get things rolling.

Cheers,
Josh
