My five cents here would be that how about considering longer time frames
for grants, like 2-3-5 years (I was too tired to understandably explain
this yesterday to Anasuya)
Here in Hungary individuals can offer 1% of their income tax to nonprofit
organizations (these are accounted and transferred to the nonprofits by the
state) These funds must be spent within 3 years (so not 1 but 3) from their
reception (unused funds has to be transferred back at the end of the 3rd
year).
Cheers,
Vince

While I believe the "FDC process" by now is
well understood and
communicated, I feel the understanding of the actual group, "FDC" and the
deliberation we perform is less well understood (and communicated)
And if WMDE feedback will be elaborated upon, I think it will be of value
understanding "FDC" and the deliberation process and I have therefor put
down a short description of this on the talkpage, based on my own
experience as one of its member (1)
I see very much in this feedback related to the prerequisites to the FDC,
not how we have implemented our inputs into recommendations. Also I think
some of the wanted more detailed feedback and interaction with the FDC as a
group is very hard to implement considering how our deliberation process
for now is set up . But feedback is always a good thing and hopefully this
feedback can be processed to improve the process and give all involved a
happier feeling of the funds dissemination in the future.

Hello everybody,
I have just posted an extensive feedback from WMDE on the FDC process here
on meta:

Comments/Extensive_feedback_from_WMDE_to_the_FDC_process
The statement was drafted by WMDE's Supervisory Board and myself.
We are very much looking forward to a discussion and I would like to
encourage everybody to share their thoughts. At the same it would be great
if we could keep the discussion on meta so that we have everything in one
place.
All the Best,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Pavel Richter
