Dear Wikimedia Community,
As many of you know, a deep discussion has been happening on Meta over the past few weeks
about the design of the new Funds Dissemination Committee. For those of you who
haven't followed along in great detail, we've created a short summary of the goals
of the work and the recommendation that is emerging.
The link to this summary is here [1]. (See the full draft resolution here [2] and the
corresponding discussion here[3]).
Three requests:
* Please read the summary, as this has important implications for future funding within
the movement
* Please forward it along to any lists or communities that you think should be aware of
this work
* Please translate it or ask others to translate it so that other communities can stay up
to date as well. To date, the majority of this discussion has happened in English and we
are eager to share this update in other languages as well.
Thanks in advance for helping us on this! As always, let me know if you have any
questions.
Best,
Meera
