Agreed. This looks good, and exciting for it to be up soon.
And welcome, Anasuya! You've jumped right in!
Warm regards,

Hi Anasuya...
It looks really great. I hope I'll read more in the next days but at least looks very
well organized.
The only problem is that it has a looooot of text, which is something impossible to avoid
but you provided summaries, something that is really great. I think it would be great to
see an example of a finished proposal... or maybe it is but I couldn't find it.
Thanks for your announcement!

Dear members of the FDC Advisory Group,
I'm happy to inform you that in a few hours, I will be sending out a message to the
larger Wikimedia community, announcing the launch of the Funds Dissemination Committee
(FDC) portal!The FDC Proposal form will then be available for all eligible entities to use
immediately. I ask that you don't share this information with the wider community till
I make the announcement.
As all of you know, the Eligibility Status and Eligibility Checklist tables - laying out
current eligibility and compliance requirements for the FDC process - were shared with the
community last week.
As we work through the teething stages of the portal - and the FDC process over the next
few weeks - I would very much appreciate your continued guidance on our process. Please
let me know what you feel about the content and structure of the portal, and any
suggestions you have for possible changes. So that we minimise confusion for applying
entities/chapters, I've proposed that we collate everyone's comments/suggestions
in one place (Questions to FDC support staff), or on related Talk/Discussion pages. In
addition, we've set up an email address - FDCsupport(a)wikimedia.org - that can be used
to email all FDC related staff. At this moment, it comprises Asaf, Winifred and I, but in
the future I will be supported by the Senior Program Officer, FDC and the Grants
Administrator, two new positions to be filled soon. Of course, I'm happy to hear from
you at my individual email address as well.
Thank you again for all your support throughout this complex process of setting up a
complex mechanism! I look forward to hearing from you.
Warmly,
Anasuya
(Director of Global Learning and Grantmaking, WMF; lead for the FDC support team)
