But the Wikimedia way is one of public conversation, and I intend to devote attention to ensuring as much of the debate about grants and grantmaking does indeed happen in public.

Fantastic! :D Will the new committee be working on a (written) set of principles to guide decisions about which grants to accept? It's no secret that some past grants have come with conditions (as money nearly always does) and some of those restrictions have caused a lot of headache and some resentment. MZMcBride
