Hi Alice,

Thank you for sharing the update and for your team's continued efforts = on the Laptop Support and Usability Project.

As part of providing feedback, could you please clarify how funding is bein= g allocated within the project? Specifically, it would be helpful to unders= tand which individuals or groups are receiving financial support for workin= g on deliverables, and who is contributing without compensation. Additional= ly, is there a process in place for compensating contributors, and if so, c= ould you share how it operates?

It would also be helpful to know what criteria are used when deciding who r= eceives funding, whether there are open opportunities for community members= to participate in funded work, and if regular reporting on funding allocat= ions is planned. Transparency on these points would help the community bett= er understand how resources are being used and how support is distributed.<= br>
Thank you for considering these questions.

Best regards,

Vester Thacker
