So what then is the supposed conflict in letting WMDE also review the proposed WMF spending using a rubric agreed upon with the FDC and posting their results?
You certainly can't argue that WMDE is more in a position of conflict of interest than WMF staff when evaluating proposed WMF spending?
The end result is the same: "The FDC reviews the analysis, asks additional questions, notes the responses to questions directed at the [applicant], and makes their decision".
Marc, in this case, they have no decision to make because there is no funding request. Absent a funding request - the key criterion for evaluation - they have no role in making a recommendation. Their opinion is equivalent to yours, or mine, or any other person's on this mailing list.
