Answer 1

It's self-explanitory.. Frank, Ricky, and Tomy are the proponents of the project.

A 'proponent' is what propels (pushes) or brings forward whatever it is that the proponent is propelling.

Proponent for a rocket, is the fuel.

Jim Brady is a proponent of gun control.

Jesse Jackson is a proponent of civil rights.

Gangs are proponents of violence.

Answer 2

The meaning of "proponent" here, is the person who initiated, facilitated and supports the programme. In this case , Frank, Ricky and Tomy are the proponents in the sense that they would oversee and make sure that the goals and objectives of the Bandung Governance Programme be achieved.

Answer 3

There isn't enough context here to know for sure, and it may be a misused word, but ordinarily a proponent is a supporter of an idea. Therefore, I would assume that these people are supporters of the Bandung Governance Programme who will be giving their perspectives on the project.

Answer 4

Here, the word 'proponent' means:
"A person who propounds or puts forward an idea".

With respect to the project, the term refers to the persons who have given the crux of the idea for the project.

Answer 5

The proponents are the ones putting it forward, the ones that take responsibility or get credit for it, depending on the result.

Answer 6

And of course you missed the most obvious one Mormon- moron but the coolest mispelling I've seen is craputure
