Adding my voice of appreciation to the outgoing
members - Anders, Arjuna,
Mike and Yuri - for the extraordinary commitment and energy it took to get
this inaugural FDC off the ground, and functioning as well as it has been.
The Advisory Group's unanimous endorsement of the FDC is no little measure
due to the work all of you contributed. Thank you so much for everything
you put into it; I hope you gained immeasurably from the experience too
(beyond the jet lag and the complaints!). :-)
Thank you too, to Bishakha and Patricio and the rest of the Board for the
selection of the new appointees (and welcome, Anne, Dumisane, Matanya and
Osmar!). The movement was lucky to have such a strong pool of candidates
interested in the positions (and I hope this will continue to be true), but
it must have made the decision difficult indeed.
Looking forward to working with all the new appointees, and continuing to
work with Anders, Arjuna, Mike and Yuri in other ways.
Warmly,
Anasuya

to a
decision
about which four candidates to appoint to the FDC. It wasn't
easy;
as is evident from the nominations, the caliber
of the candidates was
very
high. The resolution is now published in
https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Funds_Dissemination_Committ…
We have selected four appointees as follows:
1)Anne Clin (Risker)
2)Matanya Moses (matanya)
3)Dumisani Ndubane (Thuvack)
4)Osmar Valdebenito (B1mbo)
Thanks Paticio and Bishakha for handling the tough job of selecting the
candidates for FDC well.
Congratulations and best wishes to all the new appointees, I am sure
that
FDC will exceed its past performance in the
years to come.
Sincerely
Arjuna
