There was no NDA.

The materials are public and anyone is welcome to view them.

I can’t tell what you’re trying to say here, so I’ll refrain from commenting other than to say that I believe “lobbying” is a mischaracterization of what happened.

The intent of the Larus Foundation fellowships is to be steadfastly neutral. If you have suggestions how Larus Foundation can improve in that area, such suggestions are welcome and will be given due consideration.
