You're paying the reviewers; are you paying the mentors?
I don't believe that PgUS can use the word "pay." Since PgUS is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, there are restrictions how funding can be used. One such way is to award grants to provide a learning experience by development of a well defined deliverable.
are you paying the mentors?
Honestly, I hadn't considered the possibility of funding mentors. I'll have to raise this question with PgUS to see if there is a provision for this. However at this point-in-time, I am only proposing funding the reviewer. The utlimate goal is to add more people to the ranks of reviewers.
Are the mentors restricted to being US members?
The mentors can be anyone. If the possibility exists that PgUS can fund mentors, then prospective mentors will need to be or become members of PgUS.
