to be responsive to the needs of organizations in their region. As grants are finalized, information will be posted in the Funding Opportunities section of www.cleancookstoves.org.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

as priorities, and as we can, we will expand to address additional gaps. The goal is to have agreement around a minimal set of protocols and indicators, which will help to standardize the reporting of results. Monthly updates on Global Alliance Standards

<p class="MsoNormal">Crispin and Dale and all,<br>
<br>
The topic is the 2-pot stove structure (from two commercial suppliers and for other sources). And NOT the heat creation unit (which may or may not be built into the 2-pot stove structure).
<br>
<br>
For clarification of this, lets be sure that Dale's wood-fire simulator (natural gas) is considered as equally appropriate as the heat source as would be the Rocket devices or the TLUD devices.
<br>
<br>
Dale, this would be right up your alley. Heat transfer. <br>
<br>
And this shows how good stove testing could be done by someone who is NOT a testing center. And Dale should NOT be expected to do this work on his own time (unless he chooses to do so, with approval by his employer who has the equipment.).
<br>
<br>
Do we (Stover community including all of the GACC Partners and GACC leadership) have a mechanism to get this task accomplished? Perhaps some Stove Testing Center that gets a considerable chunk of money from GACC could sub-contract Dale (or other appropriate
person) to get this job done for a relatively small cost.<br>
<br>
By the way, how much financial support is the GACC actually putting into the hands of the Testing Centers? and with what requirements? I assume that these are "transparent" transactions already done or soon to be done or at least being planned.
<br>
<br>
And how can people like us Stovers with this very specific request actually get this testing onto the agenda in general and/or at a specific testing site? This is certainly "technology neutral" and eligible to be financially supported.<br>
<br>
Imagine, if we had good data about these 2-pot "attachments", there could be some very beneficial results ready for anyone to implement.<br>
<br>
And are there already results in the hands of Prakti and Envirofit and others that would be useful if known by others?
<br>
