Dear friends:
We are pleased to inform you that the WMF Board of Trustees has come to a decision about which four candidates to appoint to the FDC. It wasn't easy; as is evident from the nominations, the caliber of the candidates was very high. The resolution is now published in https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Funds_Dissemination_Committe...
We have selected four appointees as follows:
1)Anne Clin (Risker)
2)Matanya Moses (matanya)
3)Dumisani Ndubane (Thuvack)
4)Osmar Valdebenito (B1mbo)
On behalf of the Board, we want to thank Anders, Arjuna, Mike and Yuri for their service to the inaugural FDC. We deeply appreciate the two years they have served the committee and all the work they have done during four rounds of FDC recommendations. They have helped to shape the FDC itself, made critical decisions about how to strategically direct movement funds, and helped to shape the future of the movement. We hope they will continue to remain engaged in the FDC process and the movement in different ways in the years ahead.
We also want to thank all the candidates, and encourage them to consider re-applying for the committee next year, when five new members will be elected to serve on the committee.
Best,
Bishakha and Patricio

Welcome to the new members and thanks to everybody involved in the process. Thanks a lot to everyone in the nominations.

welcome on board :) I'm glad to see that all nominated members are heavily engaged and experienced. I would like to second Patricio's appreciation of stepping down members, who helped shape the FDC as it is now, dedicated hundreds of hours of time to the process, and made it possible.
best,

Thanks Paticio and Bishakha for handling the tough job of selecting the candidates for FDC well.
Congratulations and best wishes to all the new appointees, I am sure that FDC will exceed its past performance in the years to come.
Sincerely
Arjuna
Adding my voice of appreciation to the outgoing members - Anders, Arjuna, Mike and Yuri - for the extraordinary commitment and energy it took to get this inaugural FDC off the ground, and functioning as well as it has been. The Advisory Group's unanimous endorsement of the FDC is no little measure due to the work all of you contributed. Thank you so much for everything you put into it; I hope you gained immeasurably from the experience too (beyond the jet lag and the complaints!). :-)
Thank you too, to Bishakha and Patricio and the rest of the Board for the selection of the new appointees (and welcome, Anne, Dumisane, Matanya and Osmar!). The movement was lucky to have such a strong pool of candidates interested in the positions (and I hope this will continue to be true), but it must have made the decision difficult indeed.
Looking forward to working with all the new appointees, and continuing to work with Anders, Arjuna, Mike and Yuri in other ways.
Warmly, Anasuya
