Hello Tomasz,
We do need a more active public discussion about the WMF budget. Both
before and after it is approved. (The best input to the next year's
plan is often input on what is happening in the current year; and
continuous feedback that reaches some resolution is more helpful than
a burst of conflicting feedback.)
The Board has had its first discussion about the 2013-14 plan; it is
part of our agenda tomorrow and Friday. While some details may be
private, I don't see why we can't post an outline and update it on
Meta before July. I will raise this in our meeting and get back to
you.
Sam.

They might follow this, though I am afraid that there is very little
point in discussing a budget that has already been aproved. This
timeline includes all events up to July 1, the day that the 2013/2014
fiscal year begins—so if community consultations are planned after
that date, there is little point in having them at all.
On April 9, Sue was supposed to "deliver Board feedback to the team";
can anyone comment on whether this happened, and if so, whether it
would be possible for community members to see the budget v. 1 and
Sue's feedback on it?
Also, if this is not possible, can we at least know why?
