For the ones who do not read the complete text, i see the key sentences
to be (for WMF and the Board)
*WMF to view its actions as leveraging a /network effect/ utilising the
resources of the global movement.
*For an international organization [Board&WMF], there is an apparent
overall lack of global diversity
I do hope that these key needs will be reflected not only in operative
actions but also in the recruitment of a new ED.
A resource centre in SF*combined* with the people, local organisations
and learnings from all over our movement will be a formula for success
that will enable us to reach our vision

Thanks, for once, again a very thorough work done by
FDC.
I find it very encouraging to see that this committee is able to
continue with its good quality in its assessments and also to see it
growing as a role model in integrity and also truly representing the
community in values and experience gained from activities from our
affiliates/chapters.
I do hope that you, both as a role model and in your hand fast
recommendations, can help both the Board and WMF to also evolve into
role models and fully taking in the learning from all parts of the
movement. And that you will continue guide and follow up on the work
in the chapters having employees.

Hello Wikimedians,
Twice a year, the Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) meets to help
make decisions about how to effectively allocate movement funds to
achieve the Wikimedia movement's mission, vision, and strategy. For
this round, we met in person from May 13-15 to deliberate on five
plans and proposals, which were submitted by Wikimedia Armenia,
Wikimedia Norge, Wikimedia France, the Centre for Internet and
Society, as well as the draft annual plan of the Wikimedia
Foundation. We would like to thank all the organizations this round
for submitting these proposals.
We have posted our Round 2 2015-2016 recommendations on the annual
plan grants to the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. [1] The
Board will review our deliberations and make a decision by July 1, 2016.
This round, we received grant requests of roughly $1.25 million USD,
and we have recommended roughly $1.14 million in annual plan grants
(though grants are made in local currency). Before we met in May, we
reviewed all of the proposals and additional documents submitted. We
were assisted in this review with some input from the FDC staff
assessments and analysis on impact, finances, and programs, as well
as community comments on the proposals.
There is a formal process to submit complaints or appeals about these
recommendations. Here are the steps for both:
Any organization that would like to submit an appeal on the FDC’s
Round 2 recommendation should submit it to the Board representatives
to the FDC by 23:59 UTC on 8 June 2016 in accordance with the appeal
process outlined in the FDC Framework. A formal appeal to challenge
the FDC’s recommendation should be in the form of a 500-or-fewer word
summary directed to the two non-voting WMF Board representative to
the FDC, Dariusz Jemielniak. The appeal should be submitted on-wiki,
[4] and must be submitted by the Board Chair of a funding-seeking
applicant. The Board will publish its decision on this and all
recommendations by 1 July 2016.
Complaints to the ombudsperson about the FDC process can be filed by
anyone with the Ombudsperson and can be made any time. The complaint
should be submitted on wiki, as well. The ombudsperson will publicly
document the complaint, and investigate as needed.
On a side note, all FDC members are flying back to their home
countries, so we might be able to respond only in a day or two,
On behalf of the FDC,
Matanya [1]
