: In the next week we expect to identify a range within which we prefer the Awards proposals land, and to have some guidance what to do if you believe an Award really should be smaller or larger. At the moment, we are looking at a minimum of $10,000, and a maximum of $250,000.
;What’s happening by [[Coincidental_work_weeks/2015_Orlando|Orlando]]What about tax?: Identification of Recipients are responsible to determine the first set tax implications of projects we want to celebrate receiving an award, based on their respective countries’ tax laws and fundcompliance requirements. This way we can make the program tangible while we are together. ;How does the $1 million work? Does it all get allocated at Orlando? How does the $1 million figure interact with the “up to 10 projects” goal?: The $1 million Amounts applied for should be sized such that any tax or other liability that will be incurred is the initial allocation accounted for the MOSS program. We will evaluate the program as we go. It is our hope and expectation that Mozilla reserves the program provides value to the recipients and the Open Source ecosystem, and we expect to make additional allocations right to use different payment mechanisms or tax characterisations for different awards in the MOSS program in the future. : We want to focus based on making up to 10 good awards, to projects we think are great, where an award can make a real difference, and where we’ve had time number of factors specific to interact with the project and its leadership. More than 10 is difficult to impossible to do well before Orlando. Indeed, 10 may turn out to be more than we can manage. : It is conceivable that the 10 awards could use the entire first $1 million allocation, but this is not a goal, and seems unlikelyaward.
