Summary

The upcoming year faces two significant funding issues for FOCI projects, primarily driven by the acceptance status of accepted papers and talks. The primary challenges lie in selecting specific submissions or allowing them to be routed to acceptance by the Project Committee. While the primary FOCI events will be held online, there will be a hybrid online-in-person alternative for Issue 2. Consequently, for the first issue, reviewers must choose either to shepherd papers to acceptance directly or let the Project Committee decide. For Issue 2, the same principles of selection will apply, even though the hosting format will differ slightly between the two events. These hurdles affect the quality of the selected literature and the overall success rate of the initiative, requiring careful evaluation of every available submission.
