I hope Dinesh won't mind me sharing this with the list, since it's a 
matter for wider debate. FN

Is it possible that the credibility for funding comes from
the indic-computing site and its users or the representative
board (if consortium). When one applies for some funding,
they apply as a person or on behalf of the consortium or
even as an organization, that supports the indic-computing
project and can show support/need/approval by the indic-computing
(consortium?). This kind of project backing support can
be verbalized on the indic-computing site and made available
for the funding agency to verify. This might be a poll on
who/how-many of the board think it is essential and can
have their comments of support.
This process can be accounted/handled by the site in a
semi-automated manner.
