* ''50% of funding to core OSM software used to edit OSM or OSM-specific software run on the OpenStreetMap website.''
* ''30% of funding to OSM quality assurance and analysis tools and OSM-specific software in common use (category name to be determined).''
* ''20% of funding to consumer-facing OSM software and new software''
 
''All code written must be open-source and available without charge.''
 
''We would like to budget for administrative assistance for meeting minutes, document management, and other administrative tasks and believe this is best handled through existing contracts the board has in place.''

''The proposed budget was submitted to the board after the agenda for this meeting got locked. It was suggested by board members that the topic could be raised for discussion during the "any other business" section of the board meeting.''
