I'd like to come back to this - if the entity was told they were eligible (which certainly looks to be the case from the public documents), when was it discovered they were not?
When the FDC recommendations were published. (see my reply to THO)
Obviously, putting together an FDC application is a tremendous amount of work for a chapter, and if the effort was futile from the start, then the time that Deryck and WMHK put into this could have been better spent on useful programme work instead.
Or, ironically, putting together a reallocation grant. Here's another hen-and-egg problem for you all. We saw little value in settling the remaining funds from the 2010-11 grants because the FDC results will change everything anyway. Ironically the WMF and FDC became convinced that this is a valid reason to retrospectively disqualify us.
Cheers, Craig Franklin

Indeed, yet it looks like there has been no (public) follow up by the

WMF grants staff for over a month. In addition,

Winifred/Asaf, please can you clarify whether WMHK is still an eligible entity and what follow up was done after that message a month ago?
