Is there a plan in place for how WMUK is going to put together its
2013 annual plan? We need to start work on it very soon.
I see on the agenda for this weekend's meeting that there is an item
for discussing the five year plan (I'm glad that hasn't completely
stalled), but given the delays with it I don't see that being
finalised in time to base the 2013 plan on it. There is also an item
for "Draft budget against fundraising target and meeting the 5 year
plan." but I'm not sure what that means.
I think the natural place to start putting together an annual plan,
especially in the absence of a long-term plan to base it on, is with a
public call for ideas. If Sue's recommended timeline for the FDC [1]
gets adopted (and I expect it will), then WMUK will need to submit its
plan on 1 October. That's only 3 months away, so I suggest that call
for ideas go out ASAP.
