It seems that applying to the FDC for funding periods already begun has been outruled going forward: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FDC_portal/Frequently_asked_questions#fundin.... If I read the FAQ correctly. I am not sure if the WMF is giving itself and exception?

Without going into unneccessary detail, let me just ask a simple question: are there any particular reasons why the WMF does not want community input on the budget, and drafts such a vital document in total privacy?
For the sake of precision, that slide says that there is no space for
input
by the board either. "Revisions are made" only after Stu's comments, then the board votes no or yes (in 15 days only out of 5 months of work).
Doesn't the community consultation *follow* this?
The WMF works out a budget internally, and the Board vote to approve it by the end of June. It is released on 1 July, but isn't yet final; it promptly goes into...

and presumably will have a community consultation like this one:
