First of all, this is simply what we would like to see in this joint statement, assuming that the wider the topics covered the better. But the bare minimum to us would be to set a clear separation of mandates to ensure one doesn’t step up into the other’s footsteps and that applicants can also be transferred to the relevant grants program if it knocked the other door instead. Basically we recommend to emphasize this statement into two categories:
- Mandate separation (one short term the other long-term but this has to be defined clearly).
- Mutual acknowledgement on a transparent cooperative framework. This would remove the assumption some may have toward competition between the two program executives.
These are the main areas that we see fit for improvement in the current proposition. If addressed then we will definitely support both on and off chain.
