I'm still baffled at the Wikimedia Foundation wanting to go against what other international organisations are doing, ie. they fundraise locally.
Is that what the WMF wants? I know it's what Sue said the plan was, but then Ting clarified that no such decision had been made. I haven't seen anything since then about what the long-term system will be. I suspect everyone is concentrating on the next fundraiser rather that subsequent ones, and that's understandable. We do need to work out what we're going to do after this one sooner rather than later, though.
If Sue and Ting are so much at odds, maybe the rest of us should duck.
Long term funding is a matter of great interest to all of us, and it's discussion should be ongoing without regard to the current campaign.
