I was assuming no one would need to be paid to do this except for<br>
program co directors who would receive food, lodging, and travel<br>
expenses but not salary. In general its not clear how the money will<br>
be spent. Do we need a sub budget for each prize/grant area, as well<br>
as descriptions or should we do that post grant?<br>

I doubt they could do all the required organizational work such as legal and accounting without having to resort to paid consultants.

With the new organization (additional costs here, as in the 100YSS DARPA was providing for the creation of the organization), we need to establish a charter, have hackerspaces join (most will likely need to vote according to their charter to officially join) and then make consensus-based decisions on what to fund exactly. What we should be doing here is establishing the parameters and guidelines within which this would work.</div>
