Great proposal. However, I couldn't really get from the proposal text what exactly a distributed method is. I somewhat carefully read the whole text, but it didn't help. It could be explained by my general stupidity or late night reading after work day. However, the original proposal text turned out to be quite clear and unambiguous.
Maybe you should clarify it in the proposal text, I know it for myself that after numerous rewrites and edits such things become somewhat obvious — in author's head, but not for people who read it without prior context.
