Thanks @Nicolas! yes I have a couple of members who have submitted proposals in Fund 11. But many of the members as it stands now wants to participate in the community review process so they get to understand everything and how proposals are structured so they can give it a try in subsequent funding rounds. This has necessitated that i commence a training on the community reviewing process to guide them on how to setup and what’s required of them to be able to properly review proposals. I have scheduled to commence that training tonight 9pm UTC :blush:
