Hi all,
The Board has published a Q&A document around the recently published fundraising & funds dissemination resolutions. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_and_Funds_Dissemination/Board_FAQ
It's quite long -- sorry! -- but hopefully informative. Note that we did this as everyone was traveling and, in the interests of time, didn't put it up for a final vote -- so not every trustee may agree with every word, and we reserve the right to edit :)
The first section of the FAQ, "overview", focuses on board process for coming to a decision and a summary of the decisions; the next two sections focus on specific questions about the resolutions' content regarding fundraising & funds dissemination plans. Some of the questions we were asked this past weekend already, and some of them we are anticipating might be asked.
If you've got more questions, please put them on the talk page; if you want to discuss the resolutions themselves, there's a talk page on meta: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fundraising_and_Funds_Dissemination/Fina...
all best, phoebe
Thanks for posting this, Phoebe. My question about what you intend to do over the next 3 years wasn't answered. There is no point waiting three years and then re-evaluating the situation if you haven't made sure you've been gathering all the right information during those 3 years and that you are clear on what the questions you are actually trying to answer are. As a movement, we have a very poor record of following through on our trials with proper evaluations and that is because we never actually plan them out at the start. It is really important that we don't make that mistake again here.

Thanks, Tom. If you don't mind I'll put it on the talk page; this will likely require some discussion to answer. -- phoebe

Hi Phoebe,
Thanks for posting this. I've asked a question (OK, three related questions) at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fundraising_and_Funds_Dissemination/Boar...
Thanks, Mike
