There was a question why the fourth proposal got 9 votes whilst all the others got 8. The answer is simple; while we have 11 voting members, the number of Yes/No votes does not always match 11 due to abstentions and restriction on the Secretary's voting.

For the record: The applicant has withdrawn as of Apr 3rd and this grant was not reviewed in the May round: Automated generation of DWIM Perl
