Yeah transparency would definitely be welcomed, in fact, I've also been looking at proposals and how there's very little of that of costs and things they claim and a lot of things remain hidden. Very few of them even update regularly aside from when it's time to renew proposals.
As you mention it's also a bit unnerving that out of all the funded projects/initiatives through it none of them felt like they had some left over hbd to return to the pool for future ones.
Transparency
Still waiting for it, but I'm patient!
Transparency should be a norm, not an exception. We have no central auditor, so the community should be able to audit all the projects that are funded. There should be no future funding for those who won't be able to disclose all the costs in their projects.
