Instagrants Policy

Policy

From the hardware grants meeting on 27 nov 2007:Meeting minutes

reason:

We are unable to do them (instagrants) as they are interrupting our work. Turn around time for grants is less than a week these days, people need to apply (for grants) with a few days to spare

Notes

Original policy

From the hardware grants meeting on 4 dec 2004:[Meeting minutes]

An instagrant is a grant request that can clearly be filled without difficulty and hassle; generally, it's a request for components that we normally have in excess.

Instagranting works like this: It takes two people, preferably one from Production, to OK an instagrant. If you want to instagrant something be prepared to do whatever is necessary to bring the grant to closure. It's OK to ask "Instagrant, right?" on the list and that counts as one person's approval.
