I personally don't see why not, Sav.
Part of the aims of the MAIW is to promote interest and get more people involved in producing quality AI, it is not a private club. So if you have been helping Adam on this, he would naturally want to keep you involved.
The package, see how the rumour has grown into reality

, is Adam's baby and therefore he would continue to manage it. MAIW's involvement would not be to replace people involved up til now but merely to aide on its journey to fruition, by providing assistance and guidance where its needed. I personally have learnt so much about different areas just by involved in packages in a small way.
I hope that Adam wants to pursue this with Des, I would love to add this to my ever expanding AI portfolio.
