Hi,
From the arguments, I had a hard time to understand why some
organizations got so much less than they requested, and some got every
single dollar. I assume more detailed arguments will follow?
Kind regards,
Lodewijk

Hi Everyone
Rather than repeat everything I would like to point you to a blog post
created earlier today.
http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/11/15/fdc-process-milestone-sharing-wikimedi…
I do want to take the opportunity to once again thank all those involved
in this first round, including all the participating chapters. As expressed
earlier: this is the future of our funds dissemination and we will refine
the process, but this first round has exceeded my expectations on all
levels. Thanks everyone!
Jan-Bart

Subject: FDC recommendations on funds allocation, Round 1, 2012-13
To: wikimediaannounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
The inaugural Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) is pleased to
announce
recommendations [1] on Round 1 of funds
allocations for the year
2012-13.
The WMF Board of Trustees will make a decision on
these
recommendations by
December 15, 2012.
The FDC received proposals from 12 movement entities for Round 1 for a
total requested amount of 10.4 million USD. These proposals were from
11
Wikimedia chapters and the Wikimedia Foundation.
Three proposals were
received after the deadline of 1 October had passed, but the FDC
decided
that since it was the first time for the process,
the late proposals
would
be accepted and discussed. Since the proposal
deadline, the FDC and FDC
support staff have spent many hours reviewing and assessing these
proposals
to determine a set of allocations that would best
support movement
goals.
This assessment included a 4-day in-person
deliberation session in San
Francisco over the period October 28-31, where the FDC members
discussed
the proposals in depth and determined allocation
amounts for each
applying
entity.
The FDC recognizes that this is not a perfect process, and that the
process
and the outcome will improve over time as we
learn more about what
works in
the movement and what drives impact. We invite
the community to provide
overall feedback on these recommendations on the talk page for these
recommendations [2] and to provide feedback about the FDC process
on-wiki
to the Ombudsperson [3], who will collect this
feedback and use it in
our
continuous improvement process. For formal
complaints about the
recommendations, there is a separate process, outlined below.
If any entity has a complaint about the FDC's recommendation, it
should be
submitted by 23:59 UTC on 22 November 2012 in
accordance with the
complaint
process outlined in the Framework for the
Creation and Initial
Operation of
the FDC [4]:
- The complaint should be in the form of a 500-or-fewer word summary
directed to the two non-voting WMF Board representatives on the FDC
(Jan-Bart and Patricio)
- The complaint should be submitted on-wiki, through the FDC portal
page
designated for this purpose [5]
- These board representatives will present the complaint to the WMF
Board at the same time it considers the FDC recommendation.
- Formal complaints can be submitted only by the Board Chair of a
funding-seeking entity.
- Formal complaints must be filed within seven days of the
submission of
the FDC slate of recommendations to the WMF
Board (by end of day UTC
November 22)
- Any planned or approved disbursements to the organization filing a
complaint will be put on hold until the complaint is resolved.
- If the WMF Board's consideration of the complaint results in an
amendment of the FDC's recommendations (which is expected only in
extraordinary circumstances), the WMF Board may choose to release
extra
funds from the WMF reserves to provide
additional funds not
allocated by
the FDC's initial recommendation.
- Other members of the WMF Board may participate in the
investigation if
approved by the Chair of the WMF Board.
on behalf of the FDC
