Thank you.
I see (p. 5, 11):
*Special event revenue, net: 11,995/0 (2009/2010)
*Special event expense: 0/70,407 (2009/2010)
*Temporarily restricted net assets, Restricted to scholarships for 
Wikimania: 60,237/0 (2009/2010)
The "special event" is only Wikimania, isn't it?
How are costs and income shared between WMF and organizers?
(I don't understand how costs and income are split between years, but 
this is not so important.)

«Contributions receivable represent gift amounts due from various 
entities» (p. 8): does this include chapters? With regard to the WMF 
share on donations to chapters under the fundraising agreement, is this 
amount considered a donation even if chapters are more or less (it's 
complicated) obliged to transfer it to the WMF? I guess that the 
taxation would be different if e.g. you invoiced the chapters.
