After reviewing the proposal and delegate feedback, we have decided to vote against this proposal. While we share the vision of empowering our community, we agree with other delegates that this plan is flawed. It assumes protocols will approach us despite our current reputation and lacks clear details on session topics and qualified speakers. Moreover, allocating $67K for a largely virtual series appears excessive, particularly given the unclear connection to the 2025 Events Budget and the pending AVI Pilot deliverables.
