[cma-l] Government response to petition 'allthevoices'

[Murray Dawson]

I think there are two elements to this Julian;

- we should work together to support those who have less experience in 
completing funding applications in producing an application that truly 
reflects the quality of the work of their organisation (I'm happy to 
assist where I can - perhaps we can create a guide on the CMA website or 
Toolkit?)

- and we should have a large enough fund that allows though who have 
been successful in previous round with 'good' applications to be funded 
again (otherwise, eventually, the only ones which will be being 
considered will be the ones who haven't had funding before - either new 
stations or the ones who have previously submitted poor applications).

All the best

Murray
