I fully agree.
My team, Editor Engagement Experiments, was one of the few submitted to the FDC for approval.[1] We got almost no substantive questions or comments on the Talk page or mailing lists from community members about our budget. [...]
That the FDC process has these problems, is a well-known issue and is completely unrelated. Also, WMF is surely not the entity having more problems coordinating its planning process with the FDC's. On both the matters see http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/wmconf2013-fdc-feedback ; please don't mix things up.
