I agree these are concerns and it is likely no solution will ever be
perfect.
I think the best way to limit (not avoid) such concerns is to make the
process as transparent as possible. This one is quite a challenge since
one of the key point in the process is that the name of

Florence, I think you gave a great description of the process, and I agree
that we should aim at the degree of transparency achieved in it. Actually,
if I would be in charge of setting such a review panel, this is close to
how I would do it. However, I also have similar personal experience. I am

Yes thanks, Florence. My view is that agreeing on a community-driven process

wants to be called) to allocate funds is the easy part. The hard part is

Thanks you so much, Florence. This is really interesting and
definitely valuable food for thought - a very good starting point for
the conversation about funds dissemination.

Ah yeah. From what I understood, what I outline as a process is very
similar to any type of academic call of projects/funding in the USA,
such as NSF, NASA, NIH, DOE etc.
Most basic principle: peer review evaluation.
