Hello Kathy,<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for your grant request. Between the time of you
submitting it and the minimum 2 weeks for community input to the
request the kickstarter campaign had ended. As such your grant
request has been closed by the council.<br>

by Josh H given the timing the council has missed the
opportunity to be involved in the Kickstarter campaign.
The council believes this project is still of interest
to its members and will reach out to Renai on what might
be helpful in an in kind, financial or other way.
Therefore the grant request is no longer current and to
be closed. </span></p>

<p>However, the council still believes this to be an important and
interesting project to its members. As such we'll still be
reaching out to Renai to see how we might be able to contribute.
Although the grant request is closed, we will continue to follow
this up as an item for LA.<br>
</p>
<p>Cheers,<br>
Josh<br>

at the $200 level, with Renai then able to interview LA Council or
nominated representatives about technology issues
<br>
<br>
Why is this a good idea?
<br>
<br>
- It demonstrates alignment with LA's values of transparency and
openness, and aspirational desire to influence tech policy in
Australia
<br>
- It gives LA a stronger voice in tech policy making
<br>
- We need this sort of research and policy analysis and to spur
technology policy debate in Australia
<br>
<br>
Kind regards,
<br>
Kathy Reid
