I would like to note that this is highly irregular, biased, and unfair. Last year, Wikimedia India had formally requested for similar concessions during FDC Round 2 of 2012-13 and were denied the same and we had to wait for Round 1 of FDC 2013-14 to make a request for FDC funding. WMF needs to hold itself to the same requirements as it holds us to, at the very least.
Not really. If Wikimedia India doesn't get funded then a few outreach and editor recruitment programs get delayed. If WMF doesn't get funded the servers go bye bye and mediawiki stops getting patched. I suppose the FDC is baised in favor of the continued existence of wikipedia but thats to be expected.
