Hi Christophe, thank you for giving this difficult decision some
suitable context, and for doing so openly and promptly.

Could someone advise me, is there an official table on meta showing
the current list of Chapters with payment processing agreements in
place for the 2013 fund raiser?

Independently of any hat I happen to be wearing, I am planning on
putting aside some volunteer time to examine the
"admin:fundraising:program" ratio for our organizations over the next
few months, so it makes sense to ensure this is achieved for the
current payment processors, rather than just those organizations that
are "easy" to find the figures for or come forward spontaneously. I
would support other sensible top level performance indicators should
they be identified and become available soon, FDC members may have
a view on what might work well as the "top 5" indicators. Hopefully at
least the admin ratio can be publicly shared before October this year to
help foster a pragmatic discussion on simple dashboards and governance.

I'm hoping that the WMF can set a lead by publishing a calculation of
admin ratio for themselves. ;-)

PS staff salaries are not all automatically 'admin', I hope we can
agree that some
program activities are entirely justifiably supported by paid staff
and contractors.

Thanks,
Fae
