[Wikimedia-l] Subject: IRC office hours to discuss FDC eligibility criteria and next steps

[Michael Jahn]

Just about to put this information on WMDE's blog, but I'm confused about
the timing:

16:00 UTC and 23.00 UTC are given as starting times in the below email
(which is 9 PDT and 16 PDT). But on Meta it reads 9 _UTC_ and 16 _UTC_,
respectively:

Clarification would be much appreciated!

Best,
Michael

> Dear Wikimedia Community,
>
> As you may have seen, last week the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees
> passed a resolution to establish the Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
> [1].
> Full details about the planned structure and processes of the FDC can be
> found in the framework proposed to the Board [2]. This framework was
> developed over the past few months with input from a variety of people
> across the movement.
>
> We will be holding two sets of *IRC office hours* on *Wednesday 25 July*,
> to answer any questions community members may have about the FDC process;
> in particular the first step of establishing the eligibility to apply to
> the FDC. Office hours will be held:
>
> · 16:00-17:00 UTC/09:00 PDT Wednesday, July 25th
>
> · 23:00-23:59 UTC/16:00 PDT Wednesday, July 25th
>
> On *Monday 23 July 2012*, the Foundation will publish a list of eligible
> entities based on the eligibility criteria established in the framework
> [3].
> Please let me know if you believe there are any corrections to be made to
> this list. Entities who are interested in applying for funds through the
> FDC but are ineligible due to compliance issues should work with the
> Foundation to develop a plan to correct compliance issues.
>
> Entities who are ineligible for other reasons - or who would prefer not to
> go through the FDC process in this round -may seek funding through the
> Wikimedia Foundation Grants Program.
>
> I will be sending out a more detailed email on Monday to inform you of this
> list and next steps in the process. I look forward to speaking with you on
> Wednesday.
