This is awesome. I fully support this change. I’m somewhat familiar with the active contributions that @aligatorr89 has made in the Taggr network (both code contributions and code/proposal reviews) and I have recently observed @MalithHatananchchige contributing to technical discussions (example) related to subnet management, node admin, and participant management topics. Both of these folks would make strong contributors to the team that @Lorimer is proposing for his grant. I would very much like to see DFINITY support this change. If it needs further justification from a cost perspective, perhaps the recent reduction in grant for the Aviate Labs team to just @louisevelayo for the node admin/participant management is a sufficient offset of the request to expand Alex’s grant allocation. This would be a net win for the IC and decentralization to allow this change to occur.
