There might be a situation the intent 4 falls under “no - sale” rule.

Currently trying to find this out, and if so a portion of the funds can be liquid for the team.

Clarified : our proposal will wall under builders grant which is subject to 1 year lock up rule.

For our proposal we will need to be considered for cash upfront to execute.

Here is the relevant part answered in our proposal

Cool proposal! I have a process query though

I understood that missions were to be completed within season 4 ~20 Sept, &/or that funding would only apply to work delivered within S4?

Mentioned this on another mission proposal and asked if proposed timelines could be accelerated. But perhaps I misunderstood @lavande can you clarify?

Thank you @lee0007
We can change the timeline, as there is no material difference to execution.
Thank you for higlighting.

We can deliver the event in week commencing September 4th , starting the planning on July.
