One of the main issues has been "the vote on the budget" which is not
timely and the fact that there have been issues brought forward about
who gets what funding (I seem to remember someone mentioning this in one
of their notes to the list serve), as well as what is more important to
the funding body at any given time.  A Foundation, or other type of
potential funding group, is only as strong as it members, constitutions
and governing rules provide.=20

I take your comment to mean that we should stick with a group that votes
on the budget every April 1st and I can chalk one up one vote for
keeping the status quo - possibly with support for the position paper of
the BCMA (which was not explicit in your response).

In my experience, these other non-government adjudicating agencies are
not necessarily any more competent than the government in assigning
grants.

In the final analysis it is an application process subject to past
successes, popularity, needs and sometimes connections.
