Hi all,

I have almost finished drafting a proposed budget.

I need to make a few more tweaks to the bylaws proposal.

I hope to have both documents be published and ready for public comment by sometime on Friday.

Apologies that this is happening on short notice. I had planned on doing this work in February, but due to WMF Grantmaking's announcement about a January 31 deadline, things are a bit rushed.

We can make amendments to the budget and bylaws later if needed, although amending the budget may require that we wait until May for funding unless we have an urgent request or we request funding from a source other than WMF.

The budget is the more time-sensitive of the two documents because of the January 31st deadline to submit a proposal.

Please be sure to check your email on Friday evening or over the weekend for links to the draft budget and bylaws, and please look through them prior to our meeting on Tuesday so that we are all prepared with questions and comments.

Thanks!

One gateway to the wide garden of knowledge, where lies
The deep rock of our past, in which we must delve
The well of our future,
The clear water we must leave untainted for those who come after us,
The fertile earth, in which truth may grow in bright places, tended by many hands,
And the broad fall of sunshine, warming our first steps toward knowing how much we do not know.
