two responses to that:

- Sometimes changing nothing is the best plan. "First do no harm" sort of thing. Clogging and obscuring the existing process being the worst-case outcome to "fucking with it too much".
- No. Do I need to have a counter-proposal in order to point out the problems with this one?
- That said, also maybe I do have a counter-proposal: increase agency and quality by focusing, not widening. It's Cathedral time, not Bazaar time (yet). The applicants that are most likely to be motivated to put in the (minimal) effort to apply are likely the ones you want applying. And I think there's a similar executive-style approach you want on the decision process side: fewer, competent, high-agency individuals with more authority to make important decisions.
At this moment you want fiatjaf and Satoshi style figures getting a lot done in the grant-deciding world, not enormous committee processes and hours of wasted effort on busy work for the sake of "openness".
