[ALAC] Fwd: Application for Funding - Memberclicks - fromthe LAC Region

[Izumi AIZU]

IMHO, $100 per month or $50 is not a big difference.

If there is a distinct difference between what Carlos/LAC
suggested and that of Robert, then better examine the
difference. But if both have relatively little difference, and
it saves time to start using the one from LAC, I am fine,
meaning I do not object to go forward. Let's try as quickly
as possible, or JUST DO IT! is my 2 cents.
