I think our unofficial policy has been that mentors have first dibs on the money, but can gift it back to (i.e. leave it with) Inkscape at their discretion. They did the work to earn it, they should have the say over its disposition.
Yes, that's been how it was handled in the past.
Despite that, early on all the mentors all pretty much just let Inkscape keep the funds, so there wasn't a question of paying it out.
It's been mixed in previous years -- some were paid out, some weren't.
Does anyone feel more that the money should go directly into the Inkscape fund, and only paid to mentors on a case-by-case basis?
Ok, while you do say below that you're still the Rep (sorry for misremembering) I can take instruction from you about what to do, but I presume that statement above is you polling everyone else... in which case, I am going to wait to tell me the polling is done and you've decided.
I support Bryce's position.
- If the answer to (0) is yes, what is the maximum amount will be paid to each mentor?
It would be the maximum amount from Google ($500) less any fees.
Does anyone else feel that the amount should be something different?
Same here.
$500 works for me.

Don't know if it's needed, but I'll throw in a +1 on both as well.
