Hey Thomas,
I think I can take this one. I think that the FDC has expressed that its up to the WCA to
determine its own financing model, while at the same time indicating that the membership
fees model might not be the optimal solution for this, and that there are better ways)
At the same time the FDC has already expressed that the current FDC framework might not
work for every situation (and has recommended one or two exceptions this time around). It
is also suggesting that the Board of Trustees might want to make an exception to the
current rules for applying to the FDC because of the unique nature of the WCA.
(and I think it is a good suggestion which is worth discussing)

Can you elaborate on that? By my understanding of the eligibility
requirements, the WCA is not eligible for FDC funding and won't be for at
least two years.
