email counting

Did a quick bit of arithmetic this morning and learned I receive, on average, about 40 work emails a day and send, on average, about work 12 emails a day. Nothing to add, just wanted to note that somewhere.

coming back around to participatory grantmaking

And my thesis. 

Question: What percentage of a given community's GDP is derived from aid and development funding?

Question: What kinds of education should be tied to participation in grant-making processes? 

Question: What obligations other than care in evaluating applications should be placed on participants? 

Question: How can PG be meaningful when funds will sunset after a relatively short period (e.g., 4-5 years)?
