Hi Lila,
I’m afraid that your footnote links didn’t make it through to the list…
Will you also be replying to the FDC’s comments about
the WMF’s budget
proposal earlier this year?
Thanks,
Mike

Dear all,
As you know, over the last few months I’ve been learning about the work
of
the organizations we fund through the many
grantmaking programs here at
WMF. I’ve been particularly focusing on the impact evaluations that have
been done on WMF grants with the first round of Impact Reports. [1] I
expect I will learn more from you all in the coming months, and I will be
creating opportunities to do so.
The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) Advisory Group met this past May
to
review the first years of the FDC’s grantmaking
through the Annual Plan
Grants program. I want to thank them for their thoughtful
recommendations. [2]
With the Board of Trustees, I’ve carefully reviewed the Advisory Group
recommendations, in order to understand our successes and our challenges.
I would like to outline my current view of our capabilities and our
opportunities, and I am now publishing my response to these
recommendations
on Meta. [3] Please post questions and comments
on the Talk page of that
document. [4]
I would like to offer some time for any feedback or questions you may
have
on my response. To that end, I’ll be holding a
virtual meeting on Monday
Nov 3 at 17:00 UTC, and I invite you to watch the streaming video and
join
the conversation. [5] You can ask questions via
IRC on #wikimedia-office
directly or message FDC support staff, Katy Love (klove(a)wikimedia.org
or on
IRC at Katy.Love) with questions or comments; she
will voice them in the
Hangout.
I look forward to speaking with you soon.
Lila Tretikov
Executive Director, WMF
