+# Management Summary
+
+The Libre SoC was first funded from NLNet in 2018.  This was for the core
+of the project, based on an informally-developed Hybrid CPU-GPU 3D
+instruction set that had been written (and implemented in a simulator)
+in the 18 months prior to contacting NLNet.  During the implementation
+it became clear that a lot more work would be needed, and, further, that
+to meet proper transparency criteria, the proposed instruction set
+enhancements would need to be properly written up.  In addition,
+negotiations and communications with the Standards Body responsible
+for POWER ISA (the OpenPower Foundation) also needed to be taken into
+consideration.  Therefore this proposal was submitted so that full
+transparency and understanding of the Libre SoC is achieved.
