You turned a text file into a PDF why? It just makes it impossible to
copy-paste the text for commentary purposes. So I'll be brief.
Top of the second page, the sentence that ends with the words "specified
precisely": *This is the entire point of making a proposal.* If you're not
going to do that, don't waste the committee's (or the list's) time.
Your document doesn't actually *say* anything.
