In Season 3, we experimented with a Grants Council. If renewed, the Grants Council would manage Intent #2: Innovate on Novel Applications. If this Council Intent Budget is approved, it will renew the Council for another Season and elect the proposal author, Dane Lund, as Council Lead. Reviewer Elections will take place in Special Voting Cycle #12b, if this budget is approved. Any budget that is not allocated to Missions under this Intent will be returned to the Governance Fund.

This Season 4 proposal is eligible for voting in Special Voting Cycle #12a:
