Funds Distribution Comittee (FDC) Advisory Group (AG) teleconference of 11 July 2013
The group met to review the FDC process to date; the FDC AG members present were Richard, Osmar, Pavel, Kathy, Jan-Bart. Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) FDC staff present were Katy, Winifred, Anasuya. An etherpad summary of the discussion is at [1].
The FDC Year 1 Process Review, 2012-13 [2] formed the basis of the discussion and the group felt the survey covered the current state of the FDC effort correctly. There was universal agreement regarding communication between applicants and foundation staff - that this is the most challenging aspect of the relationship; new and inexperienced entities have a difficult time meeting the requirements and communication is the solution. Steering smaller (possibly less mature) entities to simpler grant possibilities may be part of the solution.
The group agreed we were making good progress using the 'framework' [3]. The 2014 review scheduled for March will be delayed to May to better fit the FDC staff workload.
