The Proposal by Parrow/Grande

The proposal was discussed by Tobias and Michael Thuné, since some questions remain before a decision is made: A roof for costs or time to spend (on each proposal in the future), as well as clear guidelines for how to write a proposal.
The group agreed to pay for 2 months for this proposal and additional 15 000 SEK as a spending allowance. The group also agreed that the money cannot be used for research or conference presentation. This should be covered by other means.
The group also agreed that it is useful if anyone leaving a proposal to the Gender Equity Group in the future comes to one of our meetings and be prepared to answer questions, as was the case this time.
