I sent a correction yesterday to what the policy wason foreign contributors
- it was not a blanket no foreign contributions (though that is what
happened in practice); i*t was no foreign contributions for CGI; for other
initiatives like CHAI (Aids), CCI (climate change), CHDI (development in
Africa), it required approval by DOS/WH to accept NEW contributions (or
significant increase in an existing one)*.

So question would be - if a country like Germany decides to contribute to
funding aids drug that the foundation facilitates through a low-cost
consortium, is answer no, the Foundation wouldn't do it or yes, it would
and would immediately disclose it - that is more likely situation facing
Foundation.
