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,

Indeed, yet it looks like there has been no (public) follow up by the
paid
WMF grants staff for over a month. In addition,
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FDC_portal/Proposals/2012-2013_round2/Wikim…
to still be an eligible entity.
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?
