there's nothing to pick up so far. The FDC has not held any meetings since
(obviously), and it generally operates within the mandate given by the
Board (which makes all decisions, FDC is only making recommendations). I
myself can reveal that I personally believe that for the WCA, or any other
entity basing on similar principles, FDC-based funding model is much better
(in terms of accountability, transparency, and also sensible strategy
creation) than membership fees.

best,
