to the applicant. The application is handled
only by the association staff. Once this has
been done, the first page of the application
will be placed in a sealed envelope and marked
only with the application number. The association
staff then reviews the application in detail,
and removes any and all words or references that
provide information relating to the applicant's

only sanitized copies of the application.

the remaining information, that trustee will
disqualify themselves from the consideration
of that application, and the remaining foundation

that application. Only winning envelopes are
opened, and the others are destroyed.
