this proposal.  the proposal was for $450.  i believe this money should be
distributed quickly to imc-beirut.  if there are no blocks or concerns, can
we simply do this and apologize for taking such a long time to respond to
this proposal that went through the regular process.  sorry imc-beirut
folks.  we obviously need to have more people participating in this
collective process here on imc-finance!
