The actual Purchase Request team members who decide on any one funding request are not identified to the Linux-USB community. Members of the PRQ team should abstain from voting due to conflicts of interest and may abstain due to business or personal time constraints or they feel unqualified to vote on a particular proposal. Each proposal is sent to the PRQ coordinator who checks only for completeness. If a submission provides sufficient information to make a decision, then the PRQ coordinator sends the submission out to the entire PRQ team. This discussion time also allows for declarations of conflict of interest.
Votes go only to the coordinator.
The PRQ coordinator will only need to count votes and notify the treasurer about the check. The PRQ coordinator receives all votes, verifies signatures, and determines if the application is approved. The notification may include comments about the proposal if appropriate or as available.
